Baird Phonovision Apparatus

1927: Baird Phonovision VideoDisc Apparatus

John Logie Baird conceived the first VideoDiscs in 1927, and the apparatus for recording them was photographed for the early  Television Digest in 1928. Baird named his VideoDisc system Phonovision. The apparatus shows how an image of a dummies head can be recorded on the disc, with the scanning apparatus being located behind the opening in the wall that the dummy faces.
