The name Emmy comes from a piece of television production equipment. Which one?

Future academy president Henry Lubcke suggested Immy as an alternative to Ike after the whole, "Hey, remember General Eisenhower?"conversation referenced in the last question. This was then changed to Emmy to make it sound more girly so it would fit the feminine statuette they'd already picked.
