"These pics are of the camera device. Other people i have talked to suggested it was part of a tele-cine chain or balopticon, as mentioned by one of the contributors. Here are some views of the inside, and the knob on the side marked "focus" has writing also for air speed!??!"

"More shots of the camera. And now, next to the lens is an indicator for height x100. There is also an old style maple leaf with a model # under the viewfinder."

"This one, found in a nice wooden box with CFRN on it, also seems to be some kind of recorder or amp."

"More of the same RCA machine. There are two of the cartridges seen here. Both are set into the bottom of the box with the machine fitting nicely on top. The machine itself has a bakelite exterior."

"And finally, this huge device. Packed into a heavy wood box, likely for field use again. Looks to be one of the oldest items here"

"And better shots of one of the military pieces. Is it conceivable that they would have used these sorts of radios for field communication with crew on remote? With limited range on walkie talkies and if they are far from land lines, would these surplus military radios be useful for that?"

"For all of this equipment I'm hoping to get a more clear understanding of what it is in the hopes that it will be donated by CTV to the Royal Alberta Museum. The museum has a good selection of Sunwapta TV equipment and ephemera, but I don't think they have much from the radio side. Any help in this research, greatly appreciated.
Cheers
John"
