Photograph caption date stamped April 17, 1964 reads, "Dick Watson of Woodland Hills, member of KTLA crew which televises the Angels' ball games, shown with Vidicon hand-held, roving camera which produces those 'tight' close-ups of the players. The camera--worth $3,500--weighs but 4 1/2 pounds, is 9 inches long and but 3 inches in diameter. Watson will be in action with the remarkable little instrument Saturday at 10:30 a.m. when the Angels face Detroit, and Sunday at 11 a.m. against Cleveland. Watch for it on Ch. 5."
