I don't know the name of the guy in the mechanical TV screen shot, but I do know that he worked at General Electric, because I saw him in another documentary called When TV Was King where he demonstrates an early electronic television system. There was a filmed bit where he says something to the effect that because of public interest in television, they had decided to give a short demonstration of the technology at its present state of development. Then there was a shot of him on a television screen, saying something like "This is a demonstration of an electronic television system, synchronized with sound and recorded at the General Electric laboratory in Schenectady, New York." Then there was another filmed bit with him saying sheepishly, "Well, that's about all we can show you today. Not much entertainment, I'm afraid..." His voice is distinctive--rather high-pitched and nasal, and when I saw The Race For Television a few months ago, I recognized his voice.
