Well, lessee here...Do you want to go thru the CBS' field sequential system, which was developed to some extent by Peter Goldmark ? It was actually adopted by the FCC, but ultimately proved unworkable, & in any case, was incompatible w/monochrome TV...Or the RCA system which was ultimately approved ? The lead men on the RCA team were Elmer Engstrom & Dr George Brown. Engstrom was a senior technical executive at RCA, he had an electrical Engineering degree from U of Minnesota in 1923. He apparently was a serious, sober type man. He was compared to Omar Bradley. George Brown was apparently more like Patton-He had the ability to motivate & insoire his subordinates, & was brilliant on technical matters, but he had a "salty" view of the brass at RCA that got him in trouble more than once. His work in color TV earned him a promotion to RCA's board of directors & a vice-presidency in 1965, but squabbled w/Bobby Sarnoff & one of his men, Chase Morsey, & Dr Brown resigned in '72, retiring in '73. I got this info from "Behind the Tube", an excellent history on radio, TV, & associated topics.
