Old And Rare…NBC Studio 3H, 1936

Taken in America’s first television studio, the contract for the RCA Pavillion at the 1939 World’s Fair is signed on a live broadcast. From left to right are NBC President Lenox Lohr, RCA President David Sarnoff and for the Fair Committee, Grover Whalen.

In late 1935, RCA converted NBC Radio Studio 3H to television use. It was equipped with three Iconoscope cameras and this is one the first three studio cameras ever made. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    I can never understand why they made an optical finder instead of a crt.
