Problems for Mechanical TV

Scophony had to withdraw at the last moment from demonstrating their Home and Public Hall TV Receivers at the August 1937 Radiolympia Show. This was due to the "irregular timing and phase shifting" (jitter) in the BBC broadcasts on the 405 line system from Alexandra Palace. Because the mechanical system cannot adjust rapidly enough to the synchonising pulses, an unstable picture resulted. Scophony had been complaining about this to the BBC and to the Television Advisory Committe for many months. The BBC stated that it was developing new equipment to be installed in late August 1937 and that they would "take all possible steps" to ensure that the signal radiated would function to a standard to suit the Scophony equipment. This problem no doubt caused the company severe financial problems at a time of TV growth when appearance at the show was so important in promoting and selling new sets. RJ (Source Wireless World+) |
