I found some items (videos on YouTube) using the search string,
'kinescopes archives Edith Piaf ford museum'. [without quote]
I remember seeing some of the cameras used at the Ford Museum when
ARSC had our first organizational meeting there in 1965. So they may
have something for you.
I was involved in creating a kinescope in early 1950s at the
Michigan State University, so their archive might also have something.

Back around 1960s, Jim Limbacher of the Dearborn Public Library
(Michigan) was involved with old films and their restoration. The
library had a great collection of old films. I don't know what they
might have had in Kinescope, but you might ask. Here is a list of Jim's
books on film.

I don't know if this helps much, but maybe.
