A heavily illustrated autobiography of John Logie Baird, the central figure in the invention and development of television. His memoirs are written with blunt candor and caustic wit. They cover the wild escapades of his early business career and the dramatic pioneering days of his scientific work, when he transmitted the very first television pictures ever seen.
British inventor John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of a working mechanical television in 1926 and transmitted the first signal between London and New York in 1927.
