Dr. Allen B. DuMont, a brilliant inventor. One of DuMont's early inventions was the so-called tuning eye, which he sold to RCA for $20,000. DuMont developed the first long-lasting cathode ray tube, the basis of electronic television, and was first to offer a home television receiver to the public in 1939, exhibiting sets at the New York World's Fair that year. For these and other reasons, Allen B. DuMont has been referred to by many people as "The Father of Television." Hired Klaus Landsberg to build a radio station.
