Marconi Mk IV Television Camera on USA aircraft carrier

This remarkable picture shows one of the Marconi cameras chosen by the US Navy to record the touchdown of aircraft landing on the aircraft carrier.

4 cameras were employed, three Mk IV Image Orthicons observing the landing and a vidicon camera focused on the data display board.

 

The cameras were supplied via Ampex under a marketing agreement.


A report for this can be read in "Practical Television" April 1963 page 293.
