=Television camera was at first a spinning mechanical wheel with a spiral of holes in it. An image would illuminate a photocell or not and send that signal to another such wheel with a lamp behind it replicating the photocells input and shining on a screen. When it was discovered that electron beams could be controlled and that they would light up a phosphorescent screen (radar and) T.V. was on the way. A Felix the Cat doll was the first T.V. image broadcast. It was used to set up the system.=

Did the first television work very well?

The first television was shown to the world in 1925, approaching a century ago. It was the invention of John Logie Baird, a Scot working in England. The "Televisor", as he called it, really wasn't very good but Baird's work was remarkable nonetheless. The quality was limited by the technology of the time and of course, because Baird was the first to do it. There are many inventions that didn't work well. The process of development takes a raw invention and turns it into high quality and useful products. Baird's work paved the way for many other brilliant minds to improve the invention and so develop the televisions we watch today.
