Then it continued for another 20 years? gr, hwh OK, so I was wrong about the second period being longer than the first (though the number of receivers near the beginning of the first period was tiny). Don't include the war itself - it was turned off during that. (No TV!) No, I've looked it up: UK 1936-1985 (fully from 1937, but not during the war: 1939-9-1, back after in fact, in 1946); Eire 1961-1982 (they had 625-line from 1962). [Hong Kong 405: 1957-1973. Other countries, experimental only, in 1939.] All from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/405_line. I was mainly responding to the person who said that in theory USA could still have analogue TV until (I think he said) 2015, but had switched as soon as they could; UK, in contrast, keeps old systems going a Long Time. Less so nowadays - most early digital terrestrial TV boxes will be killed off by the switchover (a change to the encoding is coming in at the same time), and those will only have been in use a comparatively low number of years. -- J.

And an interesting new development in the Detroit market, is that the station licensed to Ann Arbor (formerly analog UHF channel 31) is going to start broadcasting with a high power signal on UHF channel 50 (which was vacated when WKBD, now on UHF channel 14, stopped analog transmissions) from the Southfield tower site, and will cease transmitting from Ann Arbor. http://www.michiguide.COM/archives2012/2012/01/ion-television-fires-up-new-wp.html |

The last actual programme pre-war was a transmission of a Mickey Mouse film; post war TV started with a transmission of the same film.

(the opening ceremony, transmitted first on the Baird system then repeated on the Marconi/EMI system).

At the time, I recall that many of us said that it would be cheaper simply to buy that last little old lady, living in a remote valley in the middle of nowhere, a new TV set and aerial. Maybe it would have been better to have one 625 line network on VHF, like most other countries used until analog closedown. Of course going from 405 to 625 would have meant ther was no room for two networks there. gr, hwh |

writes If everything is on a ring, why are there an odd number of breakers? Both ends of the ring connect into the same breaker. 32A breaker = 16A down each leg of the ring. If each leg were fed from its own breaker, switching one breaker off would turn the ring into a 32A radial using 16A wire! :-) -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

writes How are sockets connected on a radial circuit? Separate terminals for in and out? Yes, connecting screws each side of the socket. On the side, not on the back, unless the socket has push-fit connectors (yuck). -- (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") |
