PS: At the end of one of those
retro-retrospectives it is stated
television was begun as early as
it was so that the infrastructure
to manufacture CRTs would be in
place to build thousands of Radars
in time for WWII.

Also... during the war...
The TV transmitter was used to
mislead the Greman bomber
navigation beams!
