John Logie Baird (1888-1946), Scottish electrical engineer and pioneer of television, began experimenting with imaging systems in the early 1920s. In 1924 he transmitted outline images over wires and by 1925 he was able to transmit recognisable human faces. In 1926 he started the world's first television station, which he named 2TV.
