John Logie Baird's experiments in wireless transmission
John Logie Baird is best known for inventing television, but he also experimented with wireless transmission of images. He developed methods to send visual signals without wires, laying groundwork for modern broadcasting. By converting visual information into radio signals, he demonstrated that images could be transmitted over the air, similar to radio audio broadcasts. His work involved scanning images into electronic signals, transmitting them via radio waves, and reconstructing the images on a receiver screen. This pioneering effort contributed to the development of wireless television and showcased the potential of sending visual data wirelessly over distances.
