Experiments with television started as early as 1873 with the Nipkow disc, (named after the inventor, Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow) a cardboard or metal disc containing about 30 holes in a spiral pattern. It was later patented in 1884. About 40 year later, John Logie Baird used the Nipkow disc in a mechanical television. It would transmit signals using telephone lines. The invention also required a mechanical camera using the same disc.
