"Raymond Scott's self-built electronic music equipment, including The Karloff"
and
"Raymond demonstrates his video/audio invention, The Videola.
From a 1950s POPULAR MECHANICS article:
'For writing film scores, Raymond Scott has developed an instrument which he calls the 'VIDEOLA.' The mechanism operates a movie film in a projection room in another part of the house by remote control. The movie is flashed on a television screen, so that Scott can watch the film as he composes appropriate music. A recording apparatus is hooked up to the VIDEOLA, as well, so that he can stop, play back, listen, rub out, and rewrite.'"

For those that do not know there is a critically acclaimed documentary on Raymond Scott titled "Deconstructing Dad". You can find it on http://raymondscott.com/.
