As for Scotland being a Third-World country, strange that most inventions came from there.

Alright, I'll give you Golf. But the US Navy? Economics? Sulphuric Acid?

Television?

The credit as to who was the inventor of modern television really comes down to two different people in two different places both working on the same problem at about the same time: Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, a Russian-born American inventor working for Westinghouse, and Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a privately backed farm boy from the state of Utah.

US Navy
Founded by John Paul Jones, a Scotsman. Read about his exploits in any US history book.


Television
A photo-mechanical device invented by John Logie Baird in 1922. He set up the first practical television system in the world in 1929, in Britain. In 1935 Baird worked with the German company, Fernseh, to start the world's first 3-day per week television service.
In 1908, another Scot, Alan Campbell-Swinton, outlined the use of the cathode-ray tube for transmission and reception that is used in modern television. This method replaced Baird's in the 1930's.

Economics
Adam Smith, author of the book "The Wealth of Nations" was a Scot. This book is the first study and analysis of how commerce and free trade create the wealth of a country. He is buried in Greyfriars churchyard, near Edinburgh Castle.

Sulphuric Acid
John Roebuck of Prestonpans, near Edinburgh, invented the lead chamber process for the distillation of sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid is of central importance in the manufacture of many other chemicals and in metal refining.

I thank you for your attention and thereby rest my case. You are free to apologise at any time.

You mean the American site??? Let me get this straight. I listed my information so it must be incorrect. You listed a US site so it must be correct. I see. That is how it works. Typical American arrogance. So according to you the information I posted is incorrect??? Hmm. Tell you what, if this will make you feel worthy of existence then so be it. Oh yes, you are soooooooo right. Feel better now dear child? I absolutely promise never to post information that proves you incorrect and succeeds in making you look the flaming idiot that you are. I cannot have you threatening to commit suicide.

Another player of the times was John Logie Baird, a Scottish engineer and entrepreneur who 'achieved his first transmissions of simple face shapes in 1924 using mechanical television. On March 25, 1925, Baird held his first public demonstration of 'television' at the London department store Selfridges on Oxford Street in London. In this demonstration, he had not yet obtained adequate half-tones in the moving pictures, and only silhouettes were visible.' - MZTV

That is from your site. Notice the dates. Baird was the earliest. You were saying... ?

 

[Ishcabittle]

Zworykin is usually credited as being the father of modern television. This was because the patent for the heart of the TV, the electron scanning tube, was first applied for by Zworykin in 1923, under the name of an iconoscope. The iconoscope was an electronic image scanner - essentially a primitive television camera. Farnsworth was the first of the two inventors to successfully demonstrate the transmission of television signals, which he did on September 7, 1927, using a scanning tube of his own design. Farnsworth received a patent for his electron scanning tube in 1930. Zworykin was not able to duplicate Farnsworth’s achievements until 1934 and his patent for a scanning tube was not issued until 1938. The truth of the matter is this, that while Zworykin applied for the patent for his iconoscope in 1923, the invention was not functional until some years later and all earlier efforts were of such poor quality that Westinghouse officials ordered him to work on something “more useful.”

1923 - The russian applies for a patent.

1925 - A scot, who didn't get an actual picture.

“Zworykin had a patent, but Farnsworth had a picture…”

No mention of the Scot at this point.

With patent priority status ruled in favor of Farnsworth, RCA for the first time in its history, began paying royalties for television in 1939.

If the Scot invented it, why was he never paid for it? You were saying?

Actually he did get picture. Try learning to read. It was not the type you would find in a cathode-ray tube as discovered by a Scotsman in 1908.
The Scot was never paid for it because he never applied for a patent. It worked on slightly different principles from today's television. Others had used his technology and bettered it before he had a chance to perfect it for patent reasons. Much like the Japanese who never invented the automobile have been building better cars than the Americans since Day One.
