It's been discussed here before - the cropping of the round tubes hid a lot of bad corner effects produced by the early TK-41 cameras. By the mid 60's, improved precision IMOs and yokes were producing much better results as evidenced in the surviving tapes from the New York World's Fair RCA pavilion. But earlier stuff like the Bell Telephone Hour can be pretty ugly.
