The American Telephone & Telegraph Company (AT&T) commenced its experimental study of its television programme when 'it began to be evident that scientific knowledge was advancing to the point where television was shortly to be within the realm of the possible”. The company was of the opinion that television would have a real place in world-wide communications and that it would be closely associated with telephony. It was certainly well placed to advance television, not only because of the extensive facilities of the newly formed (1925) Bell Telephone Laboratories but also because of the experience acquired in the R&D work which had made transcontinental and transoceanic telephony and telephotography possible.
