The Development of a Feasibility Model of an Electron Beam Film Recorder

W. J. Poch

The exposure of photographic film to a high-velocity electron beam in a demountable vacuum enclosure offers major advantages in resolution capability over conventional methods of recording video information. A model of such a demountable cathode-ray tube was designed and constructed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of such a recording device. Characteristics of this device and its method of operation are described. Results of preliminary tests are reported which effectively support the validity of the basic concepts involved in this method of recording.
