In the late 1800's a German student names Paul Gottlieb Nipkow developed the first mechanical module of television. He was able to send images through wires with the help of a rotating metal disk. This was called the "electric telescope" and had 18 lines of resolution. In 1907 two inventors used the cathode ray tube with the mechanical scanner system to create a new system. American inventor Charles Jenkins in 1923 invented the first practical mechanical television system. British inventor John Logie Baird was the first person to transmit moving pictures through a mechanical disk system first used by Nipkow. This was done in 1926, but from 1926 to 1931 the mechanical television system was improved and by 1934 it was converted into the electronic system that is still in use today. All early TV was black and white and it wasn't until later color TV will be invented.
