As far as I'm able to determine, the first method was to film it off a kinescope tube. Some of the older Jackie Gleason Honeymooner's were kinescope'd as well as some of the earlier Twilight Zone episodes. One of the way you can tell, is in the contrast ratio of the images, in that they're more `contrasty' in appearance.

Later, that method (1956/57) was replaced with video tape and the video was transferred to be archived and used over and over and over and over and over again. Just ask the Sci-Fi channel.
