The 'Prince Of The Power Of The Air' knows exactly how it works.

[@stonward]

That glassware was some serious craft, eh?! Excellent.

[@65gtotrips]

It’s still one of the most fascinating and impactful inventions of all time.

[@eddiejones.redvees]

Looks simple but some one with a great mind thought of it

[@quantumleap359]

Many great minds were responsible for perfecting electronic television. A rather complicated and remarkable device.

[@nickmad887]

Thank you

[@publicmail2]

And then color which had to be compatible we used 3.579545MHz color burst which made it work in NTSC.

[@quantumleap359]

Yep, the color burst on the back porch.

[@williefleete]

In US yea, PAL uses 4.433MHz

[@mikerepairsstuff]

Awesome reminder of just how smart humanity can be.

[@trustbuster23]

Nice. Kind of shocking how advanced a thing it was for that time, all of this required no computers to work, it was entirely analog. And equally shocking what this has become in less than 100 years. 4k HDR with digitally mapped, spatial 3d surround sound (Dolby Atmos).

[@65gtotrips]

Shocking is the right word…the anode which collects stray electrons in old televisions carries a huge charge.

[@joshgalka9414]

Cool!

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Amazing to me😊

[@KarelPKerezman]

"Fifty time per seco-- oh, right, PAL." -- My brain at a certain point, not having picked up on the whole "BBC" thing, somehow.

[@NgaTaeOfficial]

NTSC - never twice same colour SECAM - system entirely contrary to American method PAL - peace at last!

[@arturomonsalve]

50hz is not PAL, in these times, England used B&W 405 lines TV system; PAL is a system color, for example Brazil still uses PAL-M but switching to digital.

Is that a penguin on the telly?🐧📺

[@tirebiter4009]

Way to ruin the joke. It's supposed to be: P1: What's on the telly? P2: It looks like a penguin.

Yes. The yoke is on us.
