It's hard to believe they had prototype tubes with phosphor stripes & grilles (like modern ones) in the 50's. Solving color display was a tantalizing quest for 1950's inventors. It would be good to find a Lawrence (sample 22" Chromatron) tube or Philco 'Apple' tube/TV today, or one of those limited production Sony chromatrons (it would have to be displayed in a glass case protected by laser beams)
