Mihaly had big troubles in amplifying the signal from the selen-cell, as valves needed alternating currance, and the differences in contrast and brightness was simply not enough. It was Baird who had the simple idea of a fast rotating disk with slots to "hack" the lightbeam. The result was not visible for the eye, but it resulted in an AC signal from the photoelectric cell, which was easy to amplify.
