<p>Early video phone system, 1930. Historical artwork showing the two-way television communication system demonstrated by Bell Labs on Manhattan Island, New York City, USA, in 1930. The system used light beams and a spinning disc with 50 holes in it (the discs are seen behind the screens in front of the people). 195 Broadway (left) is the headquarters of the ATandT telephone company. 463 West Street (right) is the headquarters of Bell Telephone Laboratories. The system allowed the operators to see a small, relatively poor-quality black-and-white picture of the other person. Successful videophones were not properly developed until several decades later.</p>
