Cortina d’Ampezzo 1956: bobsleigh and cameras

This is an image-orthicon television camera used to cover the 1956 Winter Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy). The idea was not just to broadcast, but also tell a story using several cameras, so much so that it was more exciting to watch the competitions on television than from the stands! That winter, four cameras were installed along the bobsleigh track, so television viewers could follow almost all of the race.
