That's not to say there isn't an element of truth in that story; actually it's a true story full-stop but for one important detail: Du Mont made their demonstration, complete with its fully intended consequences, on a 20" set. The 30" tube didn't yet exist. |
Perhaps the color TV history site I read that on is wrong...
