NBC Matinee Theater in Production 1955

I have somewhere a photo taken in 1955 of NBC Matinee Theater in production from above the lighting grid as I remember and it shows what is probably a TK-40. That particular program was presented live in color every weekday afternoon on NBC in 1955-56 at I think 2 p.m. Checking my old TV Guides from that era of 1955 it was about the only regular color program on for a while in daytime and one of the few colorcasts at all except for specials. If i can find that photo I'll post it. When you see these old photos of these early color shows being done you wonder what happened to all the cameramen lucky enough to be there during that era. They would be in their mid 70's these days and would probably be interesting to talk to.
