The World's First High Definition Colour Television System
Baird's 1944 vision of the future
In 1944, the end of World War II was in sight. A British government committee, under the chairmanship of Lord Hankey, was set up to consider the future of television broadcasting and the television industry after the end of the war. Among the many witnesses from the BBC and industry was one private citizen, John Logie Baird. His contribution was given in 6 parts:
1. War research and television development
2. Reopening of service on the 1939 standard of definition
3. Television research
4. New television service of radically improved type
5. Home market
6. Foreign market
Part 4 gives Baird's ideas of the long-term technical future of television and it is reproduced below in full. It is interesting to compare this forecast with the actual development of television in the last 60 years.
4. New television service of radically improved type
