Fascinating 1960s film of colour CRT manufacture
mikeselectricstuff:
So many interesting details....
IDEngineer:
I always thought CRT construction seemed wildly overcomplicated. I realize everything is necessary but still. It's remarkable that anything so mechanically complex and sensitive could be produced in such high volume at such low cost. Nearly every home in the USA had at least one CRT in it, likely the most complex device any of the family members would ever touch yet cavalierly dismissed as just another appliance.
Thanks for posting this. Would be nice to see something similar for modern flat screen assembly!
Ed.Kloonk:
Just the sheer number of technical paradigms that were honed or even invented to make this contraption possible. Amazing feat of humanity.
But look what we've let it do to us.

16:37 look at the size of that Helmholtz coils

I remember Rod Humphris (RMIT lecturer and television electronics expert) telling me that the first shadow mask tube template for etching the holes in the shadow mask was made by photographing an array white ceramic food plates in a car park from a helicopter.
