UZBEKISTAN The home of electronic television.
I have been aware for many years now that as early as 1928 experiments were conducted in electronic television in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
This website confirms this fact. Http://www.timeout.orexca.com/march2005/10.shtml DFWB. |

I've compiled some stuff about Uzbekistan television. If the story is true, then the work done there should be recognized along with Farnsworth and Zworykin:

Re: UZBEKISTAN The home of electronic television.
Yes. Again I am in agreement.
I have found over the years that Eastern Europe have had some very clever engineers and designers. Us in the West tend to rubbish these people believing we are the only ones that can have the intelligence to design or even invent something. The list of Eastern Bloc inventors is endless. One person that springs to mind is (not TV related) Hans Ledwinka, he worked for Steyr, and then Tatra from Czechoslovakia; he designed cars that had rear engines, air cooled and horizontally opposed with a body not unlike the VW Beetle. To cut a long story short, Hans had designed the Beetle but because of the Nazis this design was used by Ferdinand Porsche. Hans Ledwinka was given an out-of -ourt settlement of £250,000 in 1966 from VW. The list is endless; perhaps we should do some more research. Trevor
