The 1937 RCA Iconoscope Camera, Patent Diagrams

The interior view in the previous post is the most revealing of the four images, but these are also interesting. On the left, we have the view from the top, with 12 showing the focus control portion of the right rear pan handle and 21 denoting the red and green tally lights on the back. The center image shows the camera from the front with dual red and green tally lights below the lens box with red meaning on air and green meaning stand by mode. The image on the right shows the camera mounted on television’s first pedestal which will be featured tomorrow.
