Pioneering engineer recalls first days of TV
At 104, Paul Reveley is the Society’s longest-standing Fellow and its oldest member.
Paul was one of the great pioneering engineers of British television in the 1930s.
His membership of the Society was approved in December 1937, just over a year after the start of the BBC Television Service from Alexandra Palace. It was also six months before the first production Spitfire was delivered and a week before the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney’s first animated colour film.
