"three different wheels" is a mistake - it's one wheel with three colors.

I also thought about whether this could be adapted to the CBS system - would probably need a different motor arrangement to speed up the wheel. At the Early Television convention, there have been working examples of both the Col -R-Tel (or similar) and the CBS system. (The CBS monitors have to be fed from an NTSC-CBS converter). Flicker on the Col-R-Tel is a bear, but the CBS is pretty good because of the higher field rate.
