Pre 1935 TV sets and videos from pre 1925 Mechanical TV

Mechanical Televisions in the 1800s and Early 1900s
Prior to electric televisions, we had mechanical televisions.These early televisions started appearing in the early 1800s. They involved mechanically scanning images then transmitting those images onto a screen. Compared to electronic televisions, they were extremely rudimentary.
One of the first mechanical televisions used a rotating disk with holes arranged in a spiral pattern. This device was created independently by two inventors: Scottish inventor John Logie Baird and American inventor Charles Francis Jenkins. Both devices were invented in the early 1920s.The early TV videos were all various configurations of animated images from either photography or art work that were copied by a photoelectric cell (not a video tube)The earliest video cameras were mechanical flying-spot scanners which were in use in the 1920s and 1930s during the period of mechanical television. Improvements in video camera tubes in the 1930s ushered in the era of electronic television.The videos here were taken off of screens of pre 1925 mechanical TV systems (TV sets)all were B&W no audio

Huh? There absolutely were video cameras back then. Hell the first video was recorded in 1888
