I couldn't believe how big and expensive and really impractical Baird's system was and even that early TV sets had a switch to change between the two systems, it really was experimental and a real shame that no real documentation exists in regards to the machine.

Imagine if that system did in some other reality win, then TV as we know it would not be here.

Still as you say very fascinating.
