Excerpt from Experimental Television: A Series of Simple Experiments, With Television Apparatus Also How to Make a Complete Home Television, Transmitter and Television Receiver

The transmission of sight and sound programs requires appara tus that must be very accurately designed and made, and its operation must be in the hands of technicians who are highly skilled in the art, but with this you do not need to concern your self. TO belong to the ever-increasing army of lockers-ih as well as listeners-in, you must, of course, have a television receiver as well as a radio receiver, and it has been my pleasure to tell you how to make one with which you can get the desired results.

Now, while television is here, I would not have you believe that the received images are perfect; nay, they are not even good, but it is this very fact that gives the television experimenter a thrill, for, like wireless telegraphy and telephony of yore, he has a practically unlimited field in which to exercise his inventive ability.
