The Kraft Cameraman <\/p>\n<p>Before &#8220;The Kraft Television Theater&#8221; debuted on a regular basis from NBC Studio 8G in May of 1947, it had been done occasionally from Studio 3H in 1945 with their big silver Iconoscope cameras. <\/p>\n<p>I think this super rare picture of the opening shot display was taken in May of &#8217;47 in 8G. We see two men working on the rotation table here, but over the years, the mode of travel changed. This turntable setup was the first arrangement. In the early &#8217;50s, the cameraman was rotated back and forth by a visible stick from underneath. By the mid to late 50s, the cameraman was dollying into the picture and then turning with the invisible help of magnets.   <\/p>\n<p>In 1954, Kraft began offering this as a toy for fifty cents with a Velveeta box top. I&#8217;ll post the introductory announcement below in the Comment section. Again, thanks to Mike Clark for sharing this.
