1 Mullard TENICON tubes. These were experimental vidicon-sized image storage tubes.
The idea was to "write" the image on to the tube using a typical video waveform, the tube would then store the image and replay it. Each tube could only store 1 field, so 2 were required for a full frame. Resolution was poor so the system was not developed further for TV.
