Television
Kinescope
The kinescope recorder was a huge camera used in the pre-videotape era to record television shows to film (usually 16mm, but occasionally 35mm). It was placed directly in front of a television set broadcasting the live show and filmed what was on the screen. The films themselves are called "kinescopes" or "kines."
Two-inches videotape recorder
As big as a refrigerator and just as noisy, this machine was used to record two-inch videotapes.
Two-inches videotape editor
This apparatus is used to edit, patch and repair two-inches videotape. The operator puts iron oxide over the tape, seals it and inspects the joint with a microscope.
