The primary working element of television was invented by a man named Philo
T. Farnsworth in Rigby, Idaho, USA which is about 12 miles from where I live
part of the time. Of course RCA stole the idea and it took many years for
his family finally achieve some success in the court system. /jnm

Hmmm. I dunno, but Nikolai Tesla invented it (Radio) :^)
The Supreme Court ruled on June 21, 1943 in Marconi Wireless T. Co. of
America v. U.S., 320 U.S. 1 that Marconi invented nothing that was not
already covered in patents by Tesla, Lodge, and Stone.
