There were many defects and a lot of electronics to go with it all, but at that time there were not many choices for colour cameras the only good (ish) was the BIG 3 IO option.

There was an extensive discussion, 3 years ago, here on AK dealing with the early '50's British color television experiments: British Color Experiments - 1950s mystery photos - AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums
