Baird's invention of the first working television system

Baird's invention of the first working television system in 1926 was a breakthrough in transmitting moving images wirelessly. He developed a system that captured light from a scene using a spinning disk with tiny holes (a nipkow disk), converting visual information into electrical signals. These signals were then transmitted over a wire or wireless link to a receiver that used a similar disk to reconstruct the image on a screen. Baird's system demonstrated the practical possibility of viewing live moving pictures remotely, laying the foundation for modern television. His work combined innovations in electronic imaging and signal transmission, making television a reality.
