Ancient RGB splitter

This was found lying around amongst the exhibits in the Marconi collection at the Sandford Mill Museum. It's pretty clear roughly what it is, and it probably dates from the earliest days of colour television cameras. It was probably part of an experimental or prototype setup, but nobody really has any idea. Makes a pretty lightshow when you fire an LED through it. Click to embiggen.
