Earliest surviving B&W videotape recording

I've seen "The Edsel Show"- and yeah, it is pretty "sharp"- I guess the thing is that the machine displayed at NAB in '56 was basically a working prototype, improvements were being made almost on a daily basis, & a "production" machine of 15-18 months later would show rather drastic improvements.I have pictures showing what they had achieved in Feb 1955, which was recognisable as a woman's face, & a month later, it was a pretty clear, albeit quite "soft" picture, but was still a dramatic improvement.
