the  images looked pretty  crude compared to what you get from a  weather 
sat today! But... in it's day...  amazing!.

Vidicon  tubes. I almost asked that in my post, but I figured that the 
satellite would  have something a little more esoteric. :)  


Speaking of Vidicons... My father worked at Naval Avionics in  
Indianapolis, IN. They built the Walleye guided bomb. I think there may be a  1960 or 
70's vintage Vidicon in the garage that was used in the front of the  Walleye.
FWIW: The television that was in the cockpit was built from a Sony B/W  
television set. This was probably the late 1960's or early  1970's.
