Transatlantic transmission1190 viewsAn October 3 1929 newspaper image of John Logie Baird and his TV equipment. The caption on a companion picture stated: "One more dream of science has been realised. Man's vision has spanned the Ocean, and transatlantic television has been demonstrated to be a reality. A man and a woman sat before an electric eye in a London laboratory last night, and a group of people in a darkened basement in the village of Hartsdale, New York, watched them turn their heads and move from side to side. The images were crude and broken, but they were images nevertheless."

HMS Traveller1190 viewsThe Royal Navy T class submarine Traveller in the Gareloch in April 1942.

Traveller left Malta on November 28 1942 for a patrol in the Gulf of Taranto.
