[Tig] The Emperor has no Monitor
I am not convinced about this photo. I think it maybe later than 1943, the
chair looks to be a later design.

I reckon it is Sony's first CRT RGB projector. It obviously needed a
constant convergence operator. He, no doubt, is looking into a mirror so as
to see the screen behind him, when not looking directly at the projection
tubes!

Or, is it a BRRE assessment desk? Are we looking from above at an operator
and chair strapped to a wall looking down into the head of beer of three
glasses! Bill Topazio should be able to enlighten us, I have no doubt he
has been strapped to a wall many times.

If, indeed it is an early TK desk, it cannot be from the BBC. At least 5
people had to operate each desk according to strict union rules. One for
each of Red, Green & Blue, plus one for each stereo audio channel!

On the subject of 2 perf, how is the image stability. As Kodak punch perfs
in groups of 4  there can be skew errors between each perf in the group.
The potential shooting 2 perf is that alternate frames may have slight
positional offsets as the camera pins enter  perfs 1 and perf 3 on
alternate frames. Has this ever been an issue. I know it was with 3 perf
where the cycle repeated  as perf 1 and 4 then 3  and 2  then 1 again.
