from London by Deputy Consul General Carl Raymond Loop provided a different story and considerable detail about Low's system. Low finally applied for his “Televista” Patent No. 191,405 for “Improved Apparatus for the Electrical Transmission of Optical Images” in 1917 but its released was delayed (possibly for security reasons). It was finally published in 1923. In 1927 Ronald Frank Tiltman asked Low to write the Introduction to his book in which he acknowledged Low’s work, referring to Low's various related patents with an apology that they were of ‘too technical a nature for inclusion’. Although it employed an electro-mechanical scanning mechanism, with its matrix detector (camera) and mosaic screen(receiver) it is unlike all of the later intervening systems of the 20th Century. In these respects, Low had a digital TV system 80 years before the advent of today’s digital TV and deserves his place in the History of Television.
