RCA History In The Making….Rare Original Design Sketchs
I am pleased to share a page from my collection of rarities, a few rare design drawings made by our late friend, Harry Wright of RCA.
Harry designed the look of the RCA TK60, TK42, TK43, TK44, TK45, TK45P and many other RCA products, including telecine and video tape machines. He was an RCA mechanical engineer heavily involved in RCA’s “new look” line up.
After the TK42 project started, several designs were mocked up, but Harry’s low, wide model was the one RCA went with, which was called 42X at the Camden plant. Below are Harry’s first sketches of the TK41, TK44 and the October 10, 1963 diagram of the 42XX, which was a modified 42X which included a dual lens turret, which is also see here. Enjoy, and for more on Harry and these cameras, go to the link below. -Bobby Ellerbee

Oh those RCA cameras were heavy. We used six of them at the Chicago Bears football games. It took 2semi trucks to transport the mess. No wonder we had 150 engineers at WBBM TV. , CB S Chicago
