    John Logie Baird (1888–1946). He built the first TV set using an old hatbox, scissors, some darning needles, a few bicycle light lenses, and a used tea chest 📺 Here's a slightly later model (but hardly a 40 inch) in the collections:

    The televisor is a dark metal rectangle box with a semi circle coming out of the top. On the front left there is a small dial and on the front right a tiny screen. In the middle is a brass plaque with a planet surrounded by a cloud and 'The Televisor' written above it. It looks nothing like a modern TV.
