John Logie Baird was born on August 13, 1888 in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute (then Dunbartonshire). He was the youngest of four children of the Reverend John Baird, the Church of Scotland's minister for the local St Bride's church, and Jessie Morrison Inglis, the orphaned niece of a wealthy family of shipbuilders from Glasgow. However, the Image Dissector camera was found to be lacking in light sensitivity, requiring excessive levels of illumination. Baird used the Farnsworth tubes instead to scan cinefilm, in which capacity they proved serviceable though prone to dropouts and other problems.
Short Bio John Logie Baird. Baird was born in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, in 1888. He studied at the University of Glasgow before the First World War intervened. He volunteered for the army in 1915, but was declared unfit for active service and spent the war engaged in munitions work. In 1923, he moved to Hastings in England and rented a workshop where he continued to refine his experimental designs for moving TV pictures. Suffering from cold feet, he invented a self-heating sock, though he later found putting a layer of cotton inside the sock was more effective. More successfully, he tried to create the world’s first video recording device. His phonograph could record a 30 line video signal onto a 78 black disc.
