Technical description of the marconi-e.m.i. System of television - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Please accept my apologies if this topic has been discussed within the forum in the last few years.

Some years ago, possibly ten or more, I was interested in finding a copy of a book or manual describing the original EMI/Marconi system of television which I knew had been held in the libraries of various BBC establishments.

Eventually I found a copy in the IET archives and made some preliminary enquiries, I think in this forum, about interest in possible facimile copies; it seems a number of people were, but I can find the thread in which it was discussed.

While looking for other information today I found the site linked here http://www.bbceng.info/ti/marconi-emi-tv.htm which offers exactly whay I was looking for. I hope this may be of interest to others.

I tried to tie the sections of the Birkinshaw's "Black Book" to the block diagram here.

There is also The London Television Service.

and an IEE paper "The Marconi-EMI Television System" written by Blumlein, Browne, Davis and Green, 21st April 1938.
