Television owes its origins to many inventors. But it was the single-minded determination of
an amateur inventor, John Logie Baird that led to the first live television broadcast.
Born in Scotland in 1888 and educated in Glasgow, John Logie Baird earned a living as
razor-blade salesman. In the 1890s Gulielmo Marconi showed that sound could be sent by
radio waves. Baird became convinced that a similar system could transmit a picture ideas in
his tiny workshop without any commercial support. He had to use his own earnings to
continue his research.
In 1924, Baird successfully transmitted the general outline of a figure over more than 3
meters. He continued to experiment an on October 25
th
1925 transmitted a recognisable
image of a doll. He ran downstairs to the office on the ground floor and persuaded one of the
office boys to come upstairs. This boy became the first living image transmitted by
television. Baird immediately became famous and the money which he needed to continue
2
his research was at last made available. In 1927 he made a transmission from London to
Glasgow and in 1928 he make another from London to New York. He continued
experimenting and spent his last years exploring the possibility of colour television.
