Custodial history
Donated to the Ryerson Archives by Image Arts Professor Emeritus Elvino Sauro.
Scope and content
Two camera tubes of different sizes:
RG 102.51.01 - An Image Orthicon Tube (38cm high x 7cm base) from the early days of black and white video imaging technology. It came from one of the first two television cameras acquired by Ryerson in 1953 for the training of its Radio and Television Arts students. The tube was made by English Electric and the cameras by British Marconi. The tube was given to Elvino Sauro by pioneer Radio and Television Arts faculty member Andy Kufluk.
RG 102.51.02 - A Plumbicon Tube (21cm long x 3cm base) from one of the last tube cameras owned by Ryerson. This model was from a Sony DXC 1820-KA single tube colour video camera. Colour was obtained through a sophisticated and almost invisible striped filter on the face of the tube. It was eventually replaced by cameras equipped with solid state imaging devices called Charge Coupled Devices (CCD’s).
