Real Camera Operator History! A TRUE RARITY!

Real Camera Operator History! A TRUE RARITY! (Revised Text)

Here is a picture of Ken Gieman, the first Dumont Electorcam operator. I think Ken is on the left of the camera with his hand on the steering ring.

This picture was taken at Dumont Broadcasting, Channel 5, Studio 5, 205 East 67th Street, NYC about 1956. I had originally thought the set behind them was the ‘Honeymooners’ set without the furniture, but after seeing the comments below, have double checked the photo. This set has double wide windows…Ralph and Alice’s apartment window was a single window.

This is a 35 mm version of the Electrocam and used Kodak Tri X film.

This picture was sent to me by Ward Bennett who was given the photo by Harold Borth who Ward worked with at MetroMedia, WNEW-TV then at FOX, WNYW-TV. Thank you Ward!
