Jenkins Television Corp Historic TV Pioneer Stock 1930. I/U stock. 25 Shs. Green border, Temp Cert. XF cond. Charles Francis Jenkins was a leading inventor and promoter of mechanical scanning T.V. and largely responsible for strong interest in television in the 1920s and early 1930s in the U.S. Jenkins also provided the first public T.V. demonstration in the U.S. on 13 June 1925. He co-invented and publicly demonstrated the first practical motion picture projector in the U.S. (1894), developed an automobile with the engine in the front instead of under the seat (1898) and founded the Society of Motion Picture Engineers in 1916. He had 400 U.S. patents for inventions as diverse as an airplane brake and a bean-shelling machine. Today he has been almost forgotten by all but a few television historians. Yet in the U.S. he was responsible for the advent of television and was the first pioneer to make television a reality. Rare. Only one found in old Maine estate.
