RCA 1846 4.5" Iconoscope
Ikonoskop Bildaufnahmeröhre

This tube, a smaller version of the earlier 1850, was developed by RCA in 1941. It was specifically made for military airborne cameras, like the CRV-59AAE, housed in military bomber drones guided via TV screen and remote control to their target. On impact, the camera was of course destroyed in the process.

After the war, there was surplus stock of these cameras so they were flogged on the market to lower budget/amateur TV stations and to consumers in the early 50s at an affordable price.
