Lazy Bones, developed in 1950, was the first ____ for television (6,7)

I believe the answer is:

remote control

(Other definitions for remote control that I've seen before include "Portable device for operating TV etc" , "Electron motor? (anag)" , "method of operating" , "Channel-flipping device for a TV" , "Device for operating equipment from a distance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
