Baird's first public demonstration of television

Baird's first public demonstration of television in 1926 showcased a working system that transmitted live moving images. Using a spinning disk with many tiny holes and a camera tube, Baird scanned an image and sent it as electronic signals to a receiver, which recreated the picture on a screen. The demonstration marked a significant milestone by showing that moving images could be transmitted wirelessly, paving the way for future television technology. This event captivated audiences and proved the concept of visual broadcasting, even though the images were initially rough and low-resolution.
