I've been thinking how ingenius this implementation was - and its advantages:

1. No color filter for 'Y' tube = better sensitivity= sharper iris setting

2. Much less critical registration required for sharp picture

3. R & B need not be wideband (better noise performance--in addition to noise advantage of point 1 !)(other 3 tube cameras must sum RGB for Y)(getting a clean - all important - Luminance signal the hard way).

Not surprising Fernseh had the best picture.

Wonder why Norelco didn't do this ? Or why RCA TK-42 didn't eliminate the G vidicon ?
