Recording video in the 1950s

[Doodlebug]

I few years ago I spent a great deal of time attempting to record NBTV onto Edison wax cylinders. Not very successful as you can see but it
passed the time :-)
I called my machine. 'The Edikow,' in memory of
both Edison and Paul Nipkow of mechanical TV fame.
