The 'Edmonton' crane/dolly was based on the ca:1936 US Fearless 'Panoram' movie studio dolly. The distinctive Edmonton was built for the Rank Organisation and used mainly in British film studios. The crane/dolly had a central jib that could be raised 7ft and the turntable rotated 360 deg. The dolly could be adapted, with the addition of cable guards, to run in tv studios. Another version designed exclusively for television studios by Vinten was called the 'Pathfinder'. The larger picture shows an Edmonton with an RCA TK11A tv camera mounted.
