We might as well throw in Baird's pre-war [1936] colour tv system [via landline] while we're at it. He's only known for having lost the Mechanical v EMI CRT competition but he was just about to unveil his new electronic version of colour transmission when he died in 1946, just around the corner from here in Bexhill.

We had to wait another 21 years for colour!
