 Some of the story of the Danish radio factories path into  television is inspired by the personal story of engineer  Herman Høedholt (qv). In the winter of 1950 he built a television  as an experiment while working for the radio factory Linnet &  Laursen. At the Copenhagen radio fair that same year his set was  declared the best of the exhibited models. He later started his own  television factory, Larsen & Høedholt, with an associate.
