This is a 60 line receiver built by Murry Mercier Jr. and Sr. in 1928. The disk is almost 3 feet in diameter. You can see the disk and motor in this photo. The Merciers put this set in the window of their store on north High Street in 1929. They put a mirror in front of it so that Murry could keep the picture synchronized for viewers outside the store.

Here is a rear view of the set. Behind the disk is a metal track on which the motor was mounted. The motor had a rubber wheel which contacted the disk to rotate it. The wheel on the right side of the cabinet moved the motor in and out, thereby changing the speed of the disk. Constant adjustment of the wheel was necessary to keep the picture synchronized.
