Hi Mell and all,
You won't get one bit of arguement from me since we agree completely. You
may be a bit confused, you seem to have overlooked the word "practical"
when I mentioned who was first.
I am quite familiar with the early spinning disk TV scanning system used
both in the UK and US ecperimental systems. FYI, a variation using color
filters was used in early color TV experiments.
As you said, the first all electronic (practical) scanning system was
made possible by Vladimir Zworkin working for David Sarnoff (RCA), the
Russian Jews I mentioned rather tongue in cheek when I asked if it was an
American, Russian or Jewish invention.
No, you weren't six years ahead of the Yanks, we were working on paralell
inventions like so many others. The Germans claim to have invented the
incandescent lamp and probably did, but Edison patented his first and
took the credit. That's how it works, the guy that cuts the deal first
with the king of all US inventors, Regus Patoff gets the cheese.
Before everybody goes nuts searching the history books for Regus Patoff,
it's my name for something I often see on product labels, REG US PAT OFF.
For the humor impaired and the thick, that's "registered United States
patent office". OK, I like to leave them laughing. (;->)
