Derek Hobson in action - I think he's reading the news.
Camera 2 is pointing at Derek - looks like the other camera is pointing
towards someone else.

Behind the scenes at the Golden Shot. Notice the two different type
of dollies (a dolly is the stand a camera sits on).
This looks to be an earlier picture than above - the identification
on the cameras is different than on later ones.

The caption from the book reads: "Technical staff check on the
monitor pictures in the telecine control area
