I hope this is not too far off-topic.

Like many others here (I guess) I am interested in other 'vintage' technology. Recently I bought a Vistascreen stereo view and some packs of slides for it (A Google search will show what I am talking about). The slides are a strip of photgraphic paper carrying the 2 images with a title between them and are viewed by reflected light.

Anyway, one of the sets of slides I got was Series 61 'Television Behind the Scenes' and is probably on-topic here. It consists of 10 slides with the titles :

Part of a Television Studio
The Engineer's Monitor Room
On the Air
Facing the Cameras
'Warm-up' before the Show
Interior of the Television Camera
The Producer's Mixing Room
Sound Control Room
Making a Television Commercial
Televising a Children's Programme

Nothing technical of course but some nice 3-D images of 1950s equipment
