First Ever Image Orthicon Broadcast: June 19, 1946
In this photo, you see one of four RCA TK30s at the Joe Lewis – Billy Conn rematch. The fight, at Yankee Stadium, was the first televised World Heavyweight Championship bout ever, and 146,000 people watched it on TV, also setting a record for the most seen world heavyweight bout in history. The Image Orthicon tube required only a tenth of the light that Iconoscope and Orthicon tubes required. The TK30s and TK10s were also the first cameras to have lens turrets.
…and how are you fixed for TV cameras ? ?
Look sharp… Feel Sharp… Be sharp!!!
