Although the invention and rise of television occurred decades earlier, it wasn't until the post war did the TV boomed. RCA produced the model 630TS, 10 inch diagonal TV in 1946 that help set the stage to mass production. RCA freely gave out the design to others, as David Sarnoff president of RCA wanted to set the future. Although television has many great inventors with Philo Farnsworth finally getting proper credit for the invention of television and the television process. It was the influence of RCA and it's president David Sarnoff that set the trend in motion. RCA would establish the television transmission and reception standard called NTSC* and later on set the color tv standard about 10 years later.
