I am afraid that it does NOT show her operating a camera!

There are three clues to that...

1.  There are headphones above her head which are those worn by the 
cameraperson - almost certainly a cameraman!!

earphones

I have cut the lady out of the picture to make it clearer!  With the 
person cut form the camera, you should be able to trace the lines of the 
Emitron as the protruding downward front of the camera can be clearly 
seen.  The lady is close to the camera, admittedly.


2,  Cutting the lady out of the picture shows clearly that we are seeing 
the back of her head.  Her head is positioned some 60 to 90 degrees 
clockwise from what it should be if she was operating the camera. She 
may well be watching the character which is the subject of the shot: the 
positioning is roughly correct for that.

3.  In the pictures I have seem of Emitrons, there are no controls in 
the area that the lady's hand is located - and in any case, her right 
hand would be on the panning handle for an Emitron!

- but I guess that there may be other pictures in the AP TS archives 
which may show controls in those areas!!!

There is another line of enquiry.  From the hand of the lady in 
question, there seems to be a cable dropping down to the ground. That 
could be a clue!

These pictures have been grabbed very quickly - baby granddaughter is 
having a nap - so perhaps someone with more time and better tools can do 
a decent parse of the pictures!


Hope that this is of interest,

Best regards,


Alec
