ABSTRACT
In June 1925, Charles Francis Jenkins successfully trans-
mitted a series of motion pictures of a small windmill to a
receiving facility over five miles away. The image included
48 lines of resolution and lasted ten minutes. This demon-
stration would move the television from an engineer’s lark to
reality. By 1935, Broadcast magazine listed 27 different
television broadcast facilities across the nation, some with
as many as 45 hours of broadcast a week. Although the
television set was still a toy for the prosperous, the number
of broadcast facilities began to multiply rapidly.
