Welcome to the virtual Museum of the Broadcast Television Camera
The objective of this site is to record and document

and data within are drawn from the cameras in my collection and the collections
of other supporters of the museum. It is hoped
that this site will become a valuable reference source.
The museum is a long way from finished and
I will be adding new cameras and information as and when I can, I intend
to work on European and American
television cameras first. There
are many pages that are incomplete with gaps and omissions.
