Alan Archibald Campbell Swinton

Alan Archibald CampbellSwinton FRSE was a Scottish consulting electrical engineer, who provided the theoretical basis for the electronic television, two decades before the technology existed to implement it. He began experimenting around 1903 with the use of cathode ray tubes for the electronic transmission and reception of images. Campbell described the theoretical basis for an all electronic method of producing television in a 1908 letter to Nature. CampbellSwintons concept was central to the cathode ray television because of his proposed modification of the cathode ray tube that allowed its use as both a transmitter and receiver of light. The cathoderay tube was the system of electronic television that was subsequently developed in later years, as technology caught up with Campbells initial ideas. Other inventors would use Campbells ideas, as a startingpoint to realise the cathode ray tube television as the standard, workable form of all electronic television that it became for dec
