Does anyone know of good resources for the history of television's industrial
design, i.e. archives, books, or individual academics who work in that area?
I  actually have a very specific question that someone out there may already
know: at what point did "power" replace "on/off" on television consoles and
remotes? If my own memory serves, it was shortly after remote controls became
standard issue - perhaps around the mid-70s?  Any thoughts or comments would
be greatly appreciated.
 
thanks,
