Somewhat off topic, but page 23 of the Wireless World linked to shows the colour TV system proposed by BBC engineer Brian Pethers some 3 years before the Russians "invented" it. I knew Brian quite well, a very clever, practical engineer. He also developed an anti-flare system for telecines but that too, was also ignored.
Sadly, he met a very tragic end, dying alone in his house in Kent and lying there for a couple of months. A very sad end to someone who could have been a serious contributor to the progress of TV, given half a chance.
