Which brand is this color TV?

I found a photo on a scientific journal of this color TV, but I can not see that brand and model is. Can you help? thank you.

I think it's a commercial monitor of some sort (Conrac, or?), or maybe a TV repair school home-built. No tuner (?). No color TV of that era had a swing-out chassis like that, that I've seen.

yes, the background you notice a monitor TV studio (not square tube, however!) but the two in the foreground are certainly consumer color TV. the image the small Indian child I saw it on other magazines. certainly belonged to an experimental transmission of colour TV. I do not know whether European or American.

The CRT bezels are the same as an RCA CTC-11, also used in many clones. The chassis, though, is something special.

I think it is a monitor also, the tech's left hand is adjusting 1 of 3 small knobs, on the front panel. None of them look large enough to be a channel changer. This must have been a very high end monitor made to show video for very important people, presidents, diplomats etc.
p.s. looking at the front bezel, it looks like a 4 letter name or abbreviation, it looks like TMFR, TBFR or TBFM?

What country was the scientific journal article from? This could very well be a non-US set, making guessing all the more difficult.

the photo is taken from an encyclopedia of the 70s.
i do not think that is european tv set.

you are right. there are 4 letters,

the first is not identified _
the second seems an E
the third seems an A or C
the 4th seems a M or H

- E A M perhaps TEAM ? or TECH???? or BEAM?

in attach one pics magnified

I'm still fascinated by the monitor in the background. It looks like it uses the CBS H266 rectangular tube from 1957:

Westinghouse and CBS made TV sets using this tube. The Westinghouse version is shown here (toward the bottom of the page):

What vintage is that scope and when did what I call "camera bars" (non-SMPTE) appear?

If that monitor is close enough behind to cast its reflection on the piece of equipment the man is looking at, it doesn't look like the screen would be big enough to be an H266 as it's definitely smaller than the 21" round CRTs.

That picture was probably retouched quite a bit.

David, I'm not so sure. It looks like it is some distance behind, and the screen could be 21".

If you are right, what tube do you think it uses?
