What A Beast…
This 1946 photo shows a Philco built Iconoscope camera at their company owned station in Philadephia, WPTZ. Although Philo Taylor Farnsworth did work for Philco in Philadelphia from 1931 till 1933, it is not known if he had a hand in the building or design of these cameras. The Philco cameras were built for WPTZ use only and were never sold and only a handful were ever made.
Henry Morgan…what a character that guy was!
Farnsworth needs to be better known.
