[edit] TV on the Moon

Wasn't the Apollo TV camera some kind of mechanical hybrid field-sequential system? Can anyone find a reference? --Wtshymanski 22:05, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

You mean like this? [1]

I found it by Googling "field-sequential color apollo"; there are quite a few more.

Enjoy, and please feel free to incorporate this info into the article; I know you planned to! ;-)

[edit] Spelling

The choice of using British or American spellings in Wikipedia is dictated mainly by the subject matter of the article. Color mechanical television was mainly an American phenomenon, being used for public closed circuit transmissions in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and for public broadcasts in 1950-1951. In Britain, it never left the laboratory of John Logie Baird. Hence, American spelling "color" is more approrpriate than the British "colour". If you disagree, please discuss it here to gain a consensus before attempting to change it again. — Walloon 19:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
