Scope and Contents

Ron talks about people's early misconceptions about television, and failure to understand the possibilities for it.
Ron felt that in some of their first demonstrations Phil was too willing to allow others to try to help and it ended up reducing the quality of their earliest projections.
Ron says that Zworykin offered Cliff a job when he visited Phil's lab, not realizing how close he was to Phil.
