Default 1937 RCA Projection TV "gun"

I recently found this in some of my archived magazines. It is amazing how far advanced RCA were with this technology at the time. The final anode voltage on the especially made CRT in this "gun" was 10kv. The construction is certainly very futuristic for the time, building it into the cylinder to make it like a gun.

When did the first projection sets turn up in the UK ?
