By the summer of 1931, Baird's low-definition experimental television service had been in operation for two years. The studio productions were being financed by Baird Television Ltd. and their indefinite continuance in their present form was, possibly, a waste of money besides being a cause of some inconvenience and irritation to the programme and engineering staffs of the BBC. Furthermore, it was likely that the company had obtained from its transmissions all the experi mental data which it required for the specification, design and implementation of the 30-line system. There had to be a change.
