Augusto Bissiri

Augusto Bissiri (1879–1968) was an Italian inventor born in Seui, Sardinia in 1879.

Augusto Bissiri is credited as one of the first developers of television and the cathode ray tube. He transmitted, in 1906, a photograph image from one room to another, and in 1917, he successfully transmitted an image from London to New York City. He patented his apparatus in Los Angeles in 1928, where he moved in.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}
