Even here, on this early RCA Mobile Unit, his style is present. The art decco chrome bands on the side and mudflaps are a Vassos touch. This 1947 shot from Times Square has a couple of TK30s on top of one of RCA’s first few remote trucks that were probably built just before the 1939 Worlds Fair. Originally outfitted with Iconoscope equipment, then Orthicon equipment, they were again refitted with Image Orthicon equipment in 1946.
