Baird System

The Baird System is a method for transmitting television signals, developed by John Logie Baird in the 1920s. It was one of the first systems to use a mechanical process to scan and transmit images, displaying them as shadows on a screen. Baird's invention laid the groundwork for future television technology, although it was eventually replaced by electronic systems that offered better image quality. The Baird System is notable for its historical significance in the evolution of television, demonstrating early innovation in capturing and broadcasting moving images.
