How does the early television compare with modern television?
Early Tv sets ( receivers of course) were all Black and White.
the earlier models had circular screens and cylindrical tubs,
rather like Oscilloscopes. This gave them a certain science-fiction
aura. TV sets prior to the development of the flat screen now used
also on computers like this one- were notably bulkier. there you
have it. There were competing devices like the pay-communications-
and restricted Visigraph. Visigraphs were accessed in special
sound-proof booths . I don"t know how they handled the financial
charges, but it was expensive. Visigraphs were used by Phil Spector
to communicate with the Ronettes. Phil always donned shades when he
went on the Visigraph.
