Television equipment
The television system developed by the (John Logie) Baird Television Co Ltd, which, along with the Marconi-E.M.I. Television Company system, was tested by the B.B.C. with a view to establishing a London television station. By February 1937, the B.B.C. had ceased using the Baird system, partly due to the lack of mobility of the cameras

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the early history of television technology. The image showcases a collection of television equipment developed by the John Logie Baird Television Co Ltd, a pioneering company in the field of television innovation. By the late 1930s, the Baird Television Company system, along with the Marconi-E.M.I. Television Company system, were the two leading contenders for establishing a television station in London, as tested by the British Broadcasting Corporation (B.B.C.). John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor, is credited with creating the world's first working television system in 1926. His system used mechanical scanning, which was later replaced by electronic scanning in other systems. The equipment in this photograph includes a television camera, a television receiver, and various other components necessary for the transmission and reception of television signals. Despite the groundbreaking achievements of the Baird Television Company, the B.B.C. ultimately ceased using their system by February 1937. One of the primary reasons for this decision was the lack of mobility of the Baird cameras, which limited their ability to cover live events and provide the flexibility required for a successful television service. The Marconi-E.M.I. Television Company system, which used electronic scanning and had more portable cameras, eventually became the preferred choice for the B.B.C. This photograph serves as a reminder of the early days of television technology and the innovative spirit of the pioneers who laid the foundation for the modern television industry. The Baird Television Company's contributions, while not the final solution, were crucial in advancing the development of television and paving the way for future innovations.
