EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a significant moment in television history as engineers from the Electrical and Musical Industries (E.M.I.) company operate their innovative camera at the grounds of Alexandra Palace in London. In 1936, the British Broadcasting Corporation (B.B.C) was experimenting with various methods for live television broadcasts, and the E.M.I. camera was one of the promising technologies under consideration. The E.M.I. camera, a crucial piece of equipment, is shown here in its element, meticulously recording a scene on the lush lawns of Alexandra Palace. The recording process was conveyed by cable to the television transmitter, marking an essential step towards bringing live television to homes across the country. This historical image showcases the spirit of innovation and collaboration between the B.B.C and E.M.I. as they pushed the boundaries of technology to bring live television to the masses. The importance of this moment in television history cannot be overstated, as it paved the way for the development of the medium that has since become an integral part of our daily lives. The photograph, taken in 1936, is an essential addition to any collection focused on television history, broadcasting, or media technology. It is an intriguing reminder of the early days of live television and the groundbreaking work that went into making it a reality.
