1930s mechanical TV

Recently I won a couple of eBay auctions from two different sellers. First was letters between a TV experimenter (Ray Wolf) and Don Lee Television studios and Iowa University TV studio. The second was between tv experimenter (M J Maynard) and Television Magazine. It was interesting that Television Magazine told Mr Maynard his article for making a mechanical TV motor was two complicated because you needed a lathe to make the motor parts. Maynard kept the rejection letter and a copy of his article where it ended up on eBay 40 years later. So I'm attaching a copy of Mr. Maynard's schematic here on the television karma site.
