Very interesting that Zworykin still had an office that late! But, given what he did for RCA, I'd give him an office for life, too.

I was thinking how busy the engineering departments must have been at the "big boys" (RCA, Zenith, maybe Motorola) in the 60s. As soon as they got a color chassis "perfected" they had to adapt it to rectangular, then start working on portables, hybrids, solid state, modulars. I also thought how frustrating it must have been in the back rooms at small companies like Emerson, Olympic, Setchell-Carlson, etc, to try and keep up with the big players. No wonder they gave up.
