Television Magazine - 1928 - Hugo Gernsback

Description:

Television Magazine edited by Hugo Gernsback.  Vol. 1, No. 2.  Experimenter Publishing Company, 16 July 1928. 

Very scarce early television magazine published by Hugo Gernsback--the father of modern science fiction--from his WRNY studio in New York City.  (Much less common than Gernsback's "All About Television.")

Gernsback only published two issues of this magazine before his Experimenter Publishing Company was taken over by creditors.  This is the second, and last, issue. Loaded with line drawings, schematics and photos. 

Said to contain the first published guidance on how to build a television set.  "This issue of TELEVISION contains the first clear directions as to how to build a Television set. . . ."  Includes "Television is Here" by Gernsback and a number of other articles:

  • How to Build a Television Receiver by Fred H. Canfield
  • Sanabria-Hayes Televisor
  • Special Details on Jenkins Radio Movies by H. Winfield Secor
  • Hints to the Television Enthusiast
  • The Problem of Synchronism in Television
  • How Photo-Electric Cells Work
  • Latest Data on Photo Transmission
  • New Belin Photo-Transmitter
  • How to Build a Radio Photo Recorder
  • Recording Picture with Air Jet
  • Television's Newest Developments
  • Valensi Television System
  • Quartz Crystals Synchronize Television Sets
  • Vacuum Cameras to Speed Up Television
  • Campbell Swinton Television System
  • New Jenkins Radio Movies
  • Practical Demonstration Scheduled for WRNY
  • and more. 

Tight binding.  Clean with some light toning.  Cover has some minor wear including small chip at lower front right corner.
