A Short Baird Clip on Live Leak

Postby ac7zl » Wed Sep 19, 2007 4:48 pm

Stumbled upon it this evening...

Quite short, but an interesting glimpse of what appears to be some of Baird's equipment.

Thanks, Pete. That is most interesting.

By the way, the Crystal Palace Foundation sells copies of the video "JLB: The Man Who Saw the Future" on its web site at http://www.crystalpalacefoundation.org. ... .asp?id=41 . This BBC documentary has several film clips of Mr Baird, including ones demonstrating his original equipment. Unfortunately, the CPF seems to be out of stock at present. Also, when I purchased my copy only VHS cassettes (PAL format) were available. Perhaps they will offer DVDs in the future.
