Early Color TelevisionTV Amateur George Palmer Received His Own Color Picture1962. TV amateur George Palmer received his own color picture – on a standard TV set – at his house in Perry-St, Williamstown. Mr Palmer says he has been experimenting with TV and its many uses for years, and color is his latest interest. With a TV camera, a couple of motors and some colored filters, he can show a color picture on a set in the well-equipped control room at his house.It is closed-circuit TV, of course, and he receives color only because he can produce it himself. Until there is commercial transmission in color, anyone who wants color has to have a camera, too. But the technique Mr Palmer used for receiving color costs only £50, he says.
