| Title | Letter from [Alan Archibald Campbell] Swinton, to The Editor, The Electrical Times | 
| Creator | Swinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer | 
| Date | 27 June 1929 | 
| Description | Comments that a paragraph published under the heading 'Television', on 27 June 1929, is mysterious, having regard to a letter he published in Nature for 8 June 1929, enclosing a copy. Draws attention to the fact that the principle of Baird's transmitter was actually patented by Nipkow, a German, in 1884, before Baird was born. |
