85th anniversary of first transatlantic television transmissions

On February 9, 1928 the Baird Television Development Company (BTDC)
acheived the first television transmission between London and
Hartsdale, New York

The same year, BTDS also demonstrated the first TV transmission to a
ship in mid-Atlantic.

On July 3, 1928 John Logie Baird demonstrated the world's first color
transmission, using scanning discs at the transmitting and receiving
ends with three spirals of apertures, each spiral with a filter of a
different primary color; and three light sources at the receiving end,
with a commutator to alternate their illumination. On August 10, 1928
he demonstrated stereoscopic 3-D television.
