Baird's patent for television

Baird's patent for television outlined a system that used a spinning disk with holes (a Nipkow disk) to scan an image and convert it into electrical signals, which were then transmitted and reconverted into images on a screen. His design also included mechanisms for transmitting live images wirelessly. Essentially, Baird's work laid the groundwork for transmitting moving pictures electronically, blending mechanical scanning with early experimental wireless transmission, making it one of the earliest concepts of television as we know it today.
