I had, of course, heard about the mechanical TV systems that pre-dated the CRT-based "electronic TV" invented by Philo Farnsworth. But I never really understood how they worked until I saw this Hack-A-Day article by Jenny

Here is Jenny's post:

Be sure to watch the video (above). Take a look at the awesome quality of
the 32 line color TV picture. And check out Marcus's amazingly beautiful construction. (Note: Built on a wooden base).
