"Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrated the world's first color transmission on 3 July 1928 .. Baird also made the world's first color broadcast on 4 February 1938, sending a mechanically scanned 120-line image from Baird's Crystal Palace studios to a projection screen at London's Dominion Theatre. Mechanically scanned color television was also demonstrated by Bell Laboratories in June 1929 using three complete systems of photoelectric cells, amplifiers, glow-tubes, and color filters, with a series of mirrors to superimpose the red, green, and blue images into one full color image." It is this latter feat that is discussed by Ives in this 1929 article, a very early piece on color television.
