Philo T. Farnsworth has been called the "forgotten father of television". Subsequent claims and litigation notwithstanding, he was the first to transmit a television image. Farnsworth filed ten patents between 1927 and 1929 for camera tubes, circuitry, and the cathode ray tube. Donald Godfrey examines the genius and the failures in the life of Farnsworth as he struggled to be both inventor and entrepreneur.
