Electronicam
I see references to use of kinescopes here, but no mention of the Electronicam, a 35mm film camera attached to a TV camera which was used to record the Honeymooners. It appeared in 1955 so it antedated Karl Freund's 3-camera film-only system developed for Desilu in 1951, but predated Jerry Lewis' "video assist" for use in motion picture production (1960 or 61, imdb).

 * If the Electronicam appeared in 1955, then it only surfaced briefly at the end of the DuMont Network's history.-- Firsfron of Ronchester 15:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1955 would have been too little, too late for another reason: the first Ampex 2" videotape recorders were invented in 1956 (although years would pass before they would be in use in all cities). --66.102.80.212 (talk) 03:34, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

As well as the description relating to "high-fidelity teletranscription" which is probably the Electronicam referred to above: http://ggninfo.com/June05.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.172.54.115 (talk) 06:04, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
