The Story of Television – 1956 RCA Educational Documentary

The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) traces scientific advances related the development of television from the 1920’s to 1950’s, including the introduction of color broadcasts. The film includes technical examples of how televisions work, and notable broadcasts from TV’s early days.

The film is very much a showpiece for advances made by RCA, glossing over or omitting details of competing television standards from other manufacturers. .
