Notes:-

It is reported in Wireless World November 18th, 1937, page 497&9, that the EMI Super Emitron camera was used for the first time at the Lord Mayors Parade. This was probably the 9th of November 1937. The article gives a simple description of the operation of the new Super Emitron (Image Iconoscope) tube.

A fuller description of the operation of the Super Emitron tube can be found in Wikipedia and in "Television Engineering", by Amos & Birkinshaw, pub. by ILiffe 1953, pages 68 to 78.

The bulge on the side accommodates the gun assembly of the Super Emitron tube. It is thought that the Super Emitron tubes were retro fitted into standard emitron cameras. The photographs of the camera suggest a number of different case constructions. None are known to survive.
