Item description from seller

TELEVISION, 1926. 3 papers. The three papers from volume 118 are offered here as full weekly issue extracts from a larger bound volume. VG condition. (1) "A.R.", "Television", in NATURE, a Weekly Illustrated Journal of Science. pp 18-18 in 3 July issue of pp 1-36. Bit of an historical intro to "seeing by telegraph", then working into the third para with JL Baird and his enormous invention. Interestingly "A.R." gives notice to the future, in a way, telling the reader that the with the invention of the telephone in 1876 few realized its staggering insistence, and such may be the case with the television. (2) Herbert Maxwell, "Television or Teleoptics", in 7 August 1926, being a paragraph letter to the editor, in the issue of pp 181-216. Maxwell complains about the ugliness of the word "television", but now that it has appeared (evidently anew to the author) that the stature of appearing in the august NATURE that its imprimatur gives the word status of acceptance. The author got most of what he was saying wrong. #3 will soon respond to these claims by Maxwell. (3) A.A. Campbell Swinton, "Electric Television", being a four-paragraph letter to the editor in the 23 October 1926 issue (pg 590) in the issue of pp 577-612. Campbell Swinton responds to #2, noting that he had introduced the word"television" to NATURE in 1908, and that the term and the ideas were not as new as the previous author thought. These papers are an interesting and very early look at the development of the new medium.
