The 1936-8 Emitrons, the post war CPS Emitrons.
Then with a complete change of style the 2xx cameras followed by the 2xxx (2001) series.

(1) Notes: Dates are tricky!, do you take the design date or the date entered service? It's all a bit vague.
(2) The EMI "Emitron" tube was of the Iconoscope class of tubes.
(3) The "Image Emitron" had an image section in the front of the tube. EMI called this a "Super Emitron"
(4) The "CPS Emitron" was of the Orthicon class of tubes.
(5) This tube appears to be a midget Image Iconoscope tube, a post war development of (3)

"I.O." is the abbreviation for Image Orthicon, a large camera tube in 3 inch and 4.5 inch sizes.
"Plumbicon" is a registered trade mark of Philips, as well as being a Lead Oxide camera tube!
"TTH" is Taylor, Taylor, Hobson of Leicester.
