[Boatanchors] OT: How did they "record" TV in the old days?

[Albert LaFrance]

Sounds like they may have meant "kinescope", which was a system for
recording video on film.

Hi All,

This is probably OT for this mail list, but I don't know where else to ask,
and I'm sure that there are some retired Old Time TV engineers on this list.

I listen to a Christian radio program on 770AM that is the audio portion
from an ABC TV Network program that was broadcast coast to coast (Youth On
The March).  It was broadcast in the earliest days of Television (circa 1950
or so).  Sometimes they claim it's an "Iconoscope (sp?) recording", but I
seem to remember that the Iconoscope was an early TV camera tube (later than
the spinning disk/light system), other times athey just say it's a special
Video Recording.

My question is, how would they have recorded the show back then?  The only
way I can think it was accomplished was by a Movie Camera and film with an
audio track.
