Emphasis Preaching Journal

Philo T. Farnsworth was the inventor of television. On September 7, 1927, with a tiny television screen in front of him, and with his brother-in-law, Cliff Gardner, in another room manning a television camera, a faint but unmistakable line appeared across the receiving end of the tube. It was electronic television. Through the 1930s and '40s, Farnsworth struggled to perfect and produce his discovery. But he would not consider an offer from David Sarnoff, the head of RCA, to join that large company and work for it in perfecting television.
