[Boatanchors] "Kinescope ", thanks all.

Yep,

WRDW-TV had the TK-11s for the B&W cameras and about the time
I left, they were getting some used TK-42 color cameras.

No Dage or Dumont equiipment that I remember.

There was one RCA TRT-1 system and a TR-22.  The TRT-1
would not handle color, but the TR-22 did.

As for the film chains, I am almost certain they used vidicons
and I have no idea who made the projectors.  Too far back for
me to really remember.
