Marconi B3200 'Coffin' colour television camera with Taylor-Hobson lens, 1965-66. This is the third and last version of Marconi's Image Orthicon colour cameras. The three Image Orthicon signal generating tubes used are of the 3" diameter type, handling red, green and blue. Earlier versions of the camera are designated model BD848. A really big camera, it is known to have earned the nickname 'The Coffin Camera' with TV studio staff. By the late 1960s these cameras were being replaced by smaller cameras using the new, more compact, Philips Plumbicon signal-generating tubes in place of the Image Orthicons.
