Talk:Vladimir K. Zworykin

message: Tube says that Rosing disappeared during the Revolution, this article said (in text I've commented out) that Rosing died in exile in 1917. Can anyone tell me what happened to him? Tube doesn't give a lot of details for non-central persons in the history. Sigh. So many facts, so many things to check. --Wtshymanski 01:51, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: What happened to Rosing?

message: I think we need some discussion here about Farnsworth, particularly the patent battle between Farnsworth and Sarnoff and Zworykin's part in that. Also an analysis of who really was the "father of television"? I would do it myself, but... Chrisw404 08:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: totally agree.  Although I'd hate to see Zworykin's article devote a lot of text to Farnsworth, it should at least be mentioned, as these two interacted early on while developing their systems, and then spent some time in court battling later on (the system did eventually declare Farnsworth's patents to be the valid ones that described television, even with RCA's lawyers and money backing Zworykin).  For now, I've just linked to the Farnsworth article near the top of this one, but it does seem strange that such an important battle between these two doesn't get a single mention anywhere else in the article.  What's going on with that? User:Renauldo64 11:04, 6 Jan 2007
Ugh! Tube is certainly not a thoroughly-researched book, my copy is full of red ink.  I would take anything you read in there with a shaker of salt.  Secondly, there is no definitive "father of television".  Baird was the first person to achieve results, ie. true TV pictures, but there were extremely important contributions before and after this event by several key figures - earlier ones are Nipkow, Rosing and Campbell-Swinton.  Later on, Farnsworth's camera tube is of course fundamentally different from Zworykin's, so the strange perception from some recent authors that they are essentially the same system is laughable to those who are willing to understand how the tubes actually work.  Neither of these men came up with all of the essential theories behind their systems either, in particular Campbell-Swinton and Kalman Tihanyi deserve credit for their ideas.  Also, Rosing of course, who continued his television research until 1931 when he was exiled to Arkhangelsk by Joseph Stalin.  Rosing died in exile in 1933, (not 1917).  Please also be wary of the current horribly oversimplified dichotomous approaches to this history of Farnsworth vs. RCA (and nobody else) as it is inherently inaccurate, there are more players that cannot be reasonably written out of history, even when only considering the early American electronic era of TV 24.57.195.98 17:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have seen Кузьмич and Козьмич.
My Russian Language textbook uses the former.

replies: text: Use Козьмич (it is the official patronymic; it is also supported by the fact that he was born in the family of the merchant Козьма Алексеевич Зворыкин, who was in the first guild of merchants). --P.P. (talk) 04:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: What is his patronymic?

message: The box on the right and the start of the article list multiple different dates (1888 or 1889?)... russian version does not list 30 July. Is this unknown? or just a typo? 83.171.182.234 (talk) 11:16, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of birth

message: Do we really need the sentence "His last prominent supporter would seem to be..."?  I do not understand what "support" means in this context, can someone explain?
As long as there is mention of Farnsworth in the article, should Zworykin's Russian collaborator Semyon Kataev also be mentioned?  He ended up patenting a device very similar to iconoscope in USSR 3 months before Zworykin's filing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.64.219.139 (talk) 23:38, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
