Hi Larry,
I was on the 1950 Rose Parade broadcast by KECA-TV. Have a lot of pictures
but all common equipment--RCA TK-30A cameras with the usual lens complement,
on with a Bach 3:1 zoom. TRT-1 microwave, RCA remote truck. I am in
Spokane, WA now but will be home in a week. Let me know if you want any
pictures of this stuff.
Don

Hi all:
Need your help! My good friend, former boss and now writer for the
Tech-Notes, John Silva is putting together a story for us on the history
of televising the Rose Parade. John was one of the engineers who did the
very first televising of the Rose Parade when no one else was doing it.
We're looking at a report/story that will cover from the Iconoscope
cameras through color and HDTV - home-brew microwave gear and more. We
are looking for any pictures that might support this story. Most seem to
have been lost. If you have any or know where we can get any that we can
use, please help us. As I have told John, if we don't get this recorded,
it will be lost.
We would also be interested in any anecdotal information that you may
have on this subject matter.
FYI: John Silva, in addition to many other firsts in the television
industry, is the inventor the Telecopter, did the Lawrence Welk Show
before it was ever on network TV and was very involved in the first
televising of an atomic bomb blast from Nevada (see the most current
edition of Tech-Notes). All of these stories have been in the Tech-Notes
over the years.
Thanks
