My local garage is selling laser devices that project
a straight line for just under a fiver. I wonder if these
devices (with the lens removed so that they just
produce a single spot) could be modulated to be
the light source in a Baird Televisor?



The Baird system has been superceded by more modern techniques. In fact,
unless you catch up quick, you may miss out a whole generation of technical
improvements that have occured since "Stookie"

Don't disappoint him like that, Brian, the poor guy's only just
discovered electric lights, and he's certainly not the brightest bulb in
the box.
