Jenkins could be considered the 'father of subscription TV' as you had to buy one of his mechanical contraption radio/TVs to receive broadcasts from Secaucus. Bairde ran the British show till the late 1930s when BBC sucked into raster scannning. AT&T once had a website
with tekky history stuff which showed the cable (not RF) connection with President Wilson (?) in 1926. Did you know there was once a service to get front page news on facsimile?

Midwest Radio (or some name like that) was the largest manufacturers
of television receivers....the Cathedral box contained a AM broadcast
receiver for aural and a shortwave receiver with mechanism for visual.
I'll have to try to dig up some links....we're too spoiled by
525 line service and 56 Kb internet. I've worked the DC loop...60 baud 60 mA. CI peter
