RCA tricolor tubes are installed in the first commercial production sets at Bloomington, Ind., RCA plant. "Color receivers are now ready to enter the market. With them comes the need for new studios, new trans- mitting equipment, and for new factories to build these things. In short, a great new industry is being born. "We have made available to our competitors and licensees the benefits of our pioneering and costly efforts in color as well as in black-and-white television. Since 1946, we have kept our licensees abreast of our progress in the development of compatible color television through demonstrations, technical bulletins and other informational services. "We are fulfilling the promise we made in 1950 to make available to licensees complete manufacturing information on our first commercial color television receiver. This information includes an engineering de- scription, manufacturing drawings, bill of materials, and sources of supply as well as an inspection tour of our color production set-up at our Bloomington factory." D. Y. Smith, Manager of Marketing, RCA Tube Division, told the licensees of RCA production plans for tubes, special components and testing equipment. He stated that six brand new receiving tubes specifically for color television circuits, as well as electronic components for color television are now available, and that the Tube Division will begin shipments soon of three new items of equipment for the servicing of color receivers. T. A. Smith, Vice-President in charge of RCA Engi- neering Products Division, told of progress in the equipping of stations to carry color network programs. Early in March, he said, RCA started shipment of addi- tional color cameras to both NBC and the Columbia Broadcasting System, providing more facilities for pro- ducing color programs. In addition, live color cameras will be shipped to several independent stations during April. Announcement of the NBC programming plans was made to the licensees by Barry Wood, Executive Pro- ducer and Color Coordinator for NBC.
