I remember my dad telling me about those original old
TV sets from the mid 1920s.  He described the rotating disks
and he did see a display version of it somewhere in Chicago
when he was a young boy.  When he saw it, he said it had
a picture of Felix the cat which was on a rotating turntable
slowly turning around.  He said you had to put your head up to
a hood and peer down at a fairly small image.  Maybe there was a
magnifying lense down there too.

I'd scan bits of the books and post, but there is probably more on the web 
anyway. The 30 vert lines pic was 'awful'. And yes, most had lenses.


If anyone wants me to scan that pic, shout.
