Abstract
THESE three books together furnish a useful survey of television up to 1930. There have doubtless been subsequent developments. It may be convenient to deal first with the work by S. A. Moseley and H. J. Barton Chappie. This consists of a review of the work of J. L. Baird, who furnishes a foreword. The other two volumes, which are of American origin, are of a more general character.
