1. Переведите

The first television picture that was ever seen was not exciting. But to the inventor, John Logic Baird (1888-1946), it was wonderful.

Baird was always interested in science, but not all of his experiments were successful. When he was twelve years old, he and some friends built a private telephone system. It worked well, but one night a storm pulled down the wires that were stretched across the street by the boys. A man in the street was hurt and the boys’ telephone system had to be closed down.

When John finished school, he got a job in a power station that supplied electricity to the Clyde Valley in Scotland. But once, because of his experiments, all the electricity in the Clyde Valley was cut off! That was the end of the job. Later he studied electrical engineering at the Royal Technical College and the University of Glasgow.
