Built in six weeks from a standard 4½ inch Image Orthicon camera (EMI203?) and an industrial camera (EMI204?) The Vidicons used the light not required by the stopped-down luminance Image Orthicon tube. It is said that the experience gained from this camera led to the development of the EMI 2001 camera.
RCA also used this 4 tube arrangement. See TK42
