[QuadList] Pre-WAR BBC HD!-Ping Maurice

It is indeed amazing something can  get stuck  away and saved like this....
 
Yes, what were the odds of this still being  around? Let alone  how it was 
recorded  from a Ionosphere  skipped signal.  Special indeed!

And another interesting tidbit:  Maurice Schecter is a member of  the 
group, and is the CE at DuArt in NYC:



One of the respondents was  Maurice Schecheter, who worked in a New York 
television studio. He had a  collection of television material and among it 
was one of the RCA recordings  on 16mm film. 
"He cleaned it up digitally and  transferred it to a video cassette for 
me," Mr Emmerson said. "I was  astounded. This was the oldest and probably the 
only example of live  high-definition television from the pre-war period."
Perhaps he'll pop in with some details about how he came to have this  in 
his collection.
