The official AHF Inter-War quiz thread
We've had several different quizes running here in the forum for a while with great success and now that this new section has been opened, I'm starting one here too..
The rules are very simple:
The first one to post the correct answer to a question, posts a new question (must be on events from the end of the First World War to the beginning of the Second World War) and so on.

Correct?On 2 November 1936 the BBC opened the world's first regular service of high definition television, from studios and transmitters at Alexandra Palace, North London. Its range was about 35 miles, though only 25 had been predicted. For a trial period, the 405-line Marconi-EMI system and the 240-line Baird system were used during alternate weeks. Though Baird's engineers were experimenting with an electronic camera it never became operational as the system depended mainly upon a process whereby film ran straight from a cine-camera into developing and fixing tanks, to be transmitted, still wet, 54 seconds after exposure. As well as an eratic and unpredicaible picture quality, the apparatus proved unreliable. Further, this camera system was confined to studio use, with restricted and limited movement. However, the Emitron was mobile, flexible and easy to use and subsequently outclassed the Baird system which was dropped within 3 months.

BTW I have always thought that the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936 were the first event during which TV was regularly used. That was before than BBC started its broadcastings.
