I've not seen this before, commissioned in the late 1970s by Philips, the story of the colour in-line picture tube. An odd start, but an excellent watch thereafter.

Excellent!  Laying and etching stripes of Phosphor must have been easier than dots for delta CRTs? I think the Thorn 9000 was the first PIL CRT chassis I saw, I think the tube was developed by RCA?

I like looking at all the processes involved in manufacturing TV tubes, and all the automation they used, all the work that must have gone into it! Makes my workplace look like a bodgers shed...

Regards,

Lloyd.

The narrator sounds like James Bolam?

I thought there was a bit of a Geordie twang there! He sounds like he's doing his best well-spoken voice and I think the film speed is about 4% fast but certain words like "tube" give it away. Other words that are an immediate giveaway for a Geordie accent are "blood", "book" and "great".

I have a friend in Birmingham who thinks it's hilarious the way I pronounce "Betamax" as apparently I don't pronounce the "t" so it sounds like "Bee-ah-max"
