Today, the cameramen would be wearing jeans and T shirts, but I suppose back then, it was more than just they got dressed up for this photograph. You really don't want to wear a tie around machinery that it might get caught in, like the camera support mechanism.

It might be a Canadian picture. I seem to remember that the CBC used a lot of Marconi equipment that had been modified or built for 525 line NTSC. Some CBS affiliates used B&W Marconi's in the U.S., but I don't think they ever purchased color cameras from them.
