with deep engraving. I was told it was from a VR-1000 but cannot
confirm.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I wanted to send the image to the group but
don't know if attachments are possible or if there is a separate binaries
group. How c</FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>an this be
done?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>When RCA invited Ginsburg and company to
RCA, Ampex was shocked to see their machine playing back in color.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Ampex in their lust for the color solution
immediately signed the agreement that put RCA in the VTR (Ampex trademark)
business and created a competitor to Ampex.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps that's among the reasons the current company has been rather

digital cameras, both still and moving image... DV included.</DIV>

<DIV>Those are likely to expire soon, and the company will not have income
from them.</DIV>
