Description: | The second of two opening BBC television broadcasts from
Alexandra Palace. In November 1936 this was where the first
high-definition television broadcasts were aired. The Baird
System, used in the first broadcast was found to be incompatible
with the Marconi system seen here. The Baird System was later
dropped in favour of Marconi-EMI system. This picture shows Lord
Selsdon, Chair of the Advisory Committee, Major G. Tyron,
Postmaster General, Mr R.C. Norman, Chair of the BBC, and Mr
Alfred Clark, Chairman of EMI. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bruce Castle Museum, Haringey | Rights holder: | Haringey Culture, Libraries & Learning | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1936 | Source: | Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey) | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
