RCA, Bangkok

Cameras of all kinds fascinate me. This is a RCA TK-44 from the 1970s.

The Aegis cruiser deckhouse simulator on Centerton Road in Moorestown, with inset photo of the BMEWS radar dome "golf ball" that was there before this. The radome was built in 1959 by RCA adjacent to their Missile and Surface Radar plant (today Lockheed Martin Government Electronic Systems plant) and operated by the Air Force to track satellites and ballistic missiles until more sophisticated radars were developed and the site became obsolete. It was in operation until 1974, then was removed in 1976 and replaced by RCA with the Aegis system soon after.

These slides might be a little setup. I recently found 60 plus slides of what appears to be a series of sales presentation slides.

The whole point of these slides was to boost sales numbers and really push to sell a lot of RCA color televisions in 1958.

I am having a hard time figuring out the order that these are all supposed to go in. I will post them and maybe try to put them properly in the set.

In the early 1930s, RCA published a map of the United States showing locations of radio stations encouraging people to "tour" the country by tuning in distant stations on their radios.

The map included a test for your radio using its ability to pull in distant stations to determine its performance.
