Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

Very scarce first editions of two works on a similar theme, with both instructing the reader on the use of the television, and explaining in simple terms how they work.

The first is the 1930 first edition of Charles G. Philp's vanishingly scarce 'Television for All: A Simple Explanation of Television for the General Public'.

Illustrated with a photographic frontispiece and a small number of vignette technical illustrations. With chapters discussing television in colour, stereoscopic television, noctovision, synchronism, and the overview 'how television is accomplished'.

The second work is the very scarce 1947 first edition of W. E. Miller's 'Television Explained: Aerial Technique: Circuits Analyzed: Receiver Operation'.

Illustrated throughout, and with detailed technical discussion of aerials, signals, the working of the receiver, the cathode-ray tube, scanning units, detection amplifiers, and power supplies.

With advertisements to the rear of each work.
