Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Victory of Television Every new invention wears a cloak of mystery, interwoven with gossip, rumor and half-truths. To strip off this cloak and present television, victorious in its own right, is the aim of this volume. The results achieved in fighting through the black years for television's development have more than compensated for the heartaches and temporary setbacks experienced by the greatest men of science on two continents. During the past quarter-century many learned books and papers on the progress of television have been prepared by scientists for scientists on both sides of the Atlantic. Filled with mathematical computations, formulae, and abstruse arguments all essential for the understanding of a highly complex subject, these books were not written for the general public. Eighty percent of television's success or failure depends on the public's attitude toward it. On the following pages a sincere endeavor has been made to report exactly what television is, what it does, and what it may do. In the rapidly moving kaleidoscope of progress, few dare to predict exactly what the future holds for this newest of the arts.
