Dit anyone other than RCA ever use the term
'Kinescope' for CRT? I
rememebr when I read the service manual for the monitor for my TRS-80
Model 1 (this monitor being a converted RCA portable TV, of course),
wondering what on earth the Kinescope was....
"Kinescope" was used outside of RCA. Actually, "Cathode Ray Tube" is
a bit
too general--e.g., a Crookes tube is a CRT. Besides, haven't we figured
out what "cathode rays" are yet?
I like the old "picture tube" better.
