American Television Corp. Iconoscope Camera

These pictures and text are from Mike Schultz's website

These pictures were acquired from the estate of one of their engineers, Joseph Brustman.  Upon graduation from the Technical University of Vienna in 1938, he came to the US  (no doubt to escape the Nazis) and was employed by ATC until January, 1941.  He then moved to Remington-Rand in Connecticut, probably after the demise of ATC.  There he held a number of engineering and management positions until 1952.  He then moved on to RCA-Victor where he managed the design group that was responsible for the RCA model 401 digital computer.  At Remington-Rand, he was involved with the design of several image orthicon cameras, which are documented here, with more of his pictures and information from other sources.

One of their projects was the design of a prototype studio television camera.  The pictures shown here were probably taken in 1940. 

Below are pictures of the support equipment for the camera:
