JUST NOTICED THIS RECENT POST:
"[QUOTE=ceebee23;3171224]The Coronation took place in June 1953 ... so no NTSC standard let alone a 405 line version was in place.
The experimental system was apparently a field sequential system."
TRUE. IT WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL FIELD SEQUENTIAL SYSTEM. IN FACT CHROMATIC LABORATORIES PITCHED THE FACT AT THE FCC TRIALS THAT THE CHROMATRON WOULD NOT ONLY WORK WITH THE RCA THREE GUN SYSTEM, IT WOULD WORK WITH THE CBS FIELD SEQUENTIAL SYSTEM, THEREBY ELIMINATING THE CUMBERSOME SPINNING COLOR WHEEL OR DRUM.
"The set is almost certainly a projection set or the image is a slide lit internally from behind."
POSSIBLY, OR THE PHOTO WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL CHROMATRON FIELD SEQUENTIAL COLOR TELEVISION SET UP AS DESCRIBED ABOVE BY THE VARIOUS POSTERS ON THIS THREAD.
