It was based on Paul Nipkow’s rotating disk technology, which allowed him to receive still pictures via wire from London stations over four hundred miles away using electromagnets connected along telephone lines that transmitted signals representing different shades of light intensity through electrical pulses. Later improvements included cathode ray tubes—which were invented by Karl Ferdinand Braun in 1897—for producing brighter images with greater detail resolution; colored transmissions followed shortly thereafter when Scottish engineer George Minchin created them commercially available 1932–33.
