BTW, I did read a BBC article on Digital TV (calling it that), in 1970. At the 1971 Young Scientist Expo in Dublin RDS (Jan or Feb?) I outlined (with charts) how TV would be digitised and then could be transferred over laser links. I didn't know about fibre optics till 2 years later. One judge was from RTE and said while interesting we'd never have Digital TV or communication on lasers. Well, they only started TV late at night on the 31st December 1961 (FM Radio a similar date) and were using portable 78 rpm record cutters in late 1950s instead of tape-recorders to gather rural music & folk tales.
Oh, a project on Dragonflies won that year, but I did get highly commended. I was maybe the only one from the UK and one of the few with zero school support. They only left Royal out of the name of the School because otherwise it wouldn't have fitted on the cert!
