Television in a private car, demonstrated to Radio Olympia v

Television in a private car; an experimental installation in a standard Vanguard saloon. The screen is not visible to the driver, thus avoiding distraction. The reception is received by a whip aerial, and could be watched on country and London outskirts roads, but it did not cover all of central London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print captures a truly innovative moment in the history of television - the experimental installation of a television set in a private car. The image shows a standard Vanguard saloon car with a television screen mounted inside, demonstrating how this new technology could be enjoyed on the go. The setup was designed to ensure that the screen was not visible to the driver, thus avoiding any distractions while driving. The reception for the television signal was received by a whip aerial, allowing viewers to watch their favorite programs even on country and London outskirts roads. Although this experimental installation did not cover all of central London at the time, it was still an impressive feat that showcased the potential for mobile entertainment through television. This unique display at Radio Olympia in 1949 marked an important milestone in broadcasting history. As we look back on this pioneering moment, we can appreciate how far technology has come since then. This print serves as a reminder of the constant innovation and evolution within the world of media and entertainment.
