For some reason it wouldn't allow me to add this photo to the previous post. It shows the Eidophor sitting in a corner of what we have now rather grandly named the transmitter hall.
The top thing sticking out is the main lens, capped. Angled downwards presumably because the machine was sat in a high projection box. The bottom thing is, I presume, the electron gun end of the tube. The tube is continuously pumped. The cathodes can be replaced by the operator.
The biggest meter, in the centre of the panel, is the vacuum gauge. We haven't yet found out if it works with just the mechanical vacuum pump or if there's a diffusion pump to get a better vacuum.
