Marshall, Paul2020-08-242020-08-242019-10-27https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/15745How does traditional analogue television work? That’s a question beyond the comfort zone of most media historians who may not be familiar with analogue electronics. Even young engineers know little of thermionics, cathode rays and a myriad of other forgotten technologies. This important facet of television’s history is now only recorded by older engineers and by amateur groups who collect these technologies. In this paper, I will show by using examples how material artefacts can help us understand television’s history more fully.engFernsehenengineeringbroadcastingpreservationconservationTelevisionrestoration07079110.18146/2213-0969.2019.jethc16310.25969/mediarep/147642213-0969
