This television camera connector, possibly for power or signal transmission, was part of the Westinghouse system designed for the lunar surface cameras of the Apollo program. Westinghouse designed both black and white and color cameras for lunar surface operations, and this appears to be of the type used on the black and white cameras.
NASA transferred this connector to the Museum in 1973.
