Steve, I assume that you know that RCA (and everyone else) had to pay CBS's Goldmark Lab. for every color CRT made after the 15GP22 until the Goldmark patent expired in 1972. Paley then got his revenge by firing Goldmark that year.

A similar (identical?) photo of the studio appeared on epray from one of those old picture sellers about two years ago. At the time, I thought that shot looked familiar, but could not place it.

When you posted your copy, my mind remembered seeing color and that got me thinking.

Attached is the original article from November 1954, which includes an additional shot plus a very small copy of your photo!

Sorry for the rippled images, 'cause I shot this with a normal camera.

Either I've got to buy a new scanner or fix my old DOS-based antique scanner and I don't think I'm up to repairing these modern contraptions.

Jas.
