[Tech1] Emitron

[Dave Plowman]

Was watching Newsnight yesterday. They were analysing the local election 
results with the help of Prof. Curtice who is, as they say, slightly 
follically challenged. For some reason only known to those of an 
artistic bent, the backlights were blue. And one reflecting on his bald 
head. But a moving sharp dot with a different colour centre which 
brought back memories of Cliff Michelmore and CPS Emitron cameras. That 
and watching the cameras repositioning in the 'windows' which were 
acting like mirrors made for a memorable programme.
