[Benedict, Raymond C]

Unfortunately the system was black and white only and required a technician to go inside the TV set's ciruits to install the decoder.

OK got the info it was Zenith, good one Ray. They tried a system as 
early as 1931 but ran the first real system in 1951 in the Chicago land 
area. It was called Phonevision!
