French scientist and inventor who is credited with the invention of telectroscope. With the American George R Carey and the German Paul Nipkow, Constantin Senlecq is the researcher mostly quoted in the histories of the television. In France, any history of the television mentions his name in its introduction. A debate exists on the priority of idea between the American George R. Carey, the Portuguese Adriano de Paiva and Constantin Senlecq as regards the possibility of using the selenium for the transmission of the pictures. In the paper “the téléctroscope”, in 1877, he first mentioned the idea of using the selenium. In 1881, he published a sketch detailing George Carey’s idea in an improved form: two rotating switches were proposed between the panels of cells and lamps, and as these turned at the same rate they connected each cell, in turn, with the corresponding lamp. With this system, all the points in the picture could be sent one after the other along a single wire. This is the basis of modern television: the picture is converted into a series of picture. Constantin Selecq is a mythical figure of the history of the television. |
