Gustav Wikkenhauser (1901–1974)〔 was an Hungarian engineer, naturalized as a British citizen in 1941. In 1932 he moved from Hungary to England to work on mechanical television, working for Scophony. Wikkenhauser was born in 1901 in Budapest, Hungary. When twenty-six years old, he graduated from the University of Budapest in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. He graduated in 1926, and was employed by ドイツ語:Allgemeine Elektrizitats-Gesellschaft AG in Germany. He relocated to Berlin. In his employment there, he built the two 30-line television receivers that the Hungarian engineer Dénes Mihály demonstrated at the 1928 Berlin Radio Exhibition. He was a pioneer of television in the 1930s, but his work has remained largely unknown because of a "classification" on his National Archives file by the British. He obtained British citizenship shortly after the German invasion of Hungary in World War II, after having failed with a "lukewarm" recommendation from his superiors before the war. The IET's archivist, Jon Cable, looked into his files, Coincidentally, they had been declassified by the National archives on 30 December 2014, 31 years early from its 100-year classification. Wikkenhauser took up a position in Mihály's Telehor Television Company at its start in 1929. He met there GW Walton, a fellow inventor. In the same year, he married a Hungarian woman called Aranka – her maiden name is unknown. ==Early days of television== In 1931 Wikkenhauser was invited to take up employment at Scophony, in the United Kingdom, where he would work on the early development of television. He begain as an "assistant technical engineer", but soon climbed up, becoming a Fellow of the Television Society in November 1936. Scophony was a startup company using the patents of GW Walton, who worked with Wikkenhauser's technical ability and character; encouraging him to move to England and further his career. Scophony Ltd was described as "one of the most ingenious television manufacturers of the 1930s". A significant patent from the international company was the Projection Television System; several were installed and ran successfully. But none were sold: the dark day of World War Two on the horizon, even the BBC shut down its television experiments. Wikkenhauser's systems projected a high.definition image upon a screen using mirrors fixed on rapidlz rotating drums; the process of their manufacture was hailed as trulz innovative. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gustav Wikkenhauser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
