RCA’s Version Of Television History: 1956

You won’t hear David Sarnoff or Vladimir Zworykin mention Filo Farnsworth here, but, this is quite interesting none the less. $50 Million to develop electronic TV and $70 Million to develop color are just a few of the interesting tidbits here. The color discussion starts at around 16:15 and after 20:30, we get to see some great shots of TK41s in action. Enjoy!

    Philo Farnsworth. You’ll find him on “I’ve Got A Secret” at Youtube and worth posting. He predicts HDTV in the mid-1950’s!
