First Public Demonstration of Radiovison

1925 | June 13: Ohio engineer Charles Francis Jenkins demonstrated the first synchronized transmission of pictures and sound, using 48 lines, and a mechanical system. Jenkins called this “the first public demonstration of radio-vision” though he claimed to have successfully transmitted a moving silhouette in June 1923.
