<DIV>In fact, not just the head but the entire transport seems to be the Bosch
machine as in the pics below........</DIV>

<DIV>Now, I can see the picture as well. Interesting looking
machine. I wonder...did they make their own headwheel panels, or did
they use an Ampex or RCA?<BR>Guy</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>None of the above. Visual bought Fernseh (Bosch) Quad head
assemblies, such as seen here on the LabGuy's World website:</DIV>
<DIV><A title=http://www.labguysworld.com/Fernseh_NR-286.htm href="http://www.labguysworld.com/Fernseh_NR-286.htm">http://www.labguysworld.com/Fernseh_NR-286.htm</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The head is stamped "5 mils" which would imply it was used for 7.5 ips
recordings. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I see what appears to be an air fitting on the left side of this
picture:</DIV>
<DIV><A title=http://www.labguysworld.com/Fernseh_NR-286_039.jpg href="http://www.labguysworld.com/Fernseh_NR-286_039.jpg">http://www.labguysworld.com/Fernseh_NR-286_039.jpg</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>indicating that this is an air-bearing head.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Richard notes that the head assembly pictured came from Merlin
Engineering Works in Palo Alto.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>There is a connection between all of these companies, and we'll explain
that in the upcoming story about the Visual deck.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You might also be surprised to learn what radio/TV host, composer and
pianist/organist is tied into the story.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Sorry if this comes off like a big tease (must be the producer-side
coming out) but I'm waiting for permission to reprint comments that have
been e-mailed to me, and to see what other visual material comes
about.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hopefully all that coincides with getting some time freed up to
assemble more pages for the site.</DIV>
