1936 Telefunken Camera 1 of 2
The cameraman is Walter Bruch and he’s shown here at the 1936 Berlin Olympics operating one of two Telefunken cameras at the event. As you will see in the companion photo, one of these two Telefunken cameras (Fernseh also had a camera there) has a huge lens attached. On close examination of both images, it could be the same camera with an additional lens section. What do you think?
There were two of the large Telefunken cameras located at the trackside. Fernseh also had two cameras at the games. One was an intermediate film camera located at the Marathon Gate and the other was a more portable one of image dissector type. See:http://www.nostalgiatech.co.uk/Berlin%20Olympics.htm
