| Engineer and inventor, born in Budapest, Hungary. He studied at the universities of Vienna and Berlin, and emigrated to the USA in 1933. He worked in the laboratories of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), where he developed the first practical colour television system, used for experimental transmissions in New York City in 1940. He led the team that invented the long-playing record (1948), and later built a special type of camera for the lunar-orbiting space vehicle, which transmitted very high definition pictures of the Moon's surface back to the Earth. |
