Very interesting presentation by Don McClean. Thanks, Joe. It simply proves what I've been convinced of for many years - that Baird truly was a great pioneer and not simply the slightly potty inventor messing about with old hat boxes, lengths of bike chain and so on. Fair enough, in the early days, he did what he could in the circumstances he found himself in but the later engineering showed remarkable improvements. He battled ill health all his life to achieve his goals and died tragically too soon. It is time he was given more credit.
