the world's first public demonstration of a working television system that transmitted moving images with tone graduation (grayscale) on

26 January 1926 at his laboratory in London, and built a complete experimental broadcast system around his technology. Baird further demonstrated the world's first color television transmission on 3 july 1928. Other prominent developers of mechanical television included charles Francis Jenkins, who demonstrated a primitive television system in 1923, Frank Conrd who demonstrated a movie-film-to-television converter at Westinghouse  in 1928, and Frank Gray and Herbert E. Ives at Bell Labs who demonstrated wired long-distance television in 1927 and two-way television in 1930.

Completely electronic television systems relied on the inventions of Philo Taylor Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworykin and others to produce a system suitable for mass distribution of television programming. Farnsworth gave the world's first public demonstration of an all-electronic television system at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on 25 August 1934.

Televisions always have width/height ratio of 3:4 or 9:16. Why these numbers and not, say, 1:2 (which is very close to 9:16)?
