This was possibly the last time a lone inventor working in difficult conditions (rented room in Hastings) and with virtually no budget (my father tried to raise money for Baird) could invent something that would change the world. Although modern television uses nothing of his original work, the existance of a working prototype became the catalyst to stimulate the development of what we have today.
