<BR>
This is my first post here, and while I wasn't around during the Quad days<BR>
(or indeed even in television during 1-inch days), I enjoy reading about all<BR>
this great gear and your stories.<BR>
<BR>
I seem to recall that in documentaries I've seen, the footage of Walter<BR>
Cronkite doing Kennedy assassination breaking news was from kinescope.<BR>
During the past several days, I've seen some of those clips over and over<BR>
again in Cronkite retrospective pieces, and they are videotape! Under what<BR>
circumstances might have both kinescopes and videotapes been made of the<BR>
live coverage? <BR>
<BR>
Has the quad tape of the coverage only recently been unearthed, or is it<BR>
conceivable that the kinescope version has been in circulation simply<BR>
because it was at hand when someone needed it?<BR>
<BR>
Also why does the VT or kinnie of the first flash bulletin exist in the<BR>
first place? Is the source CBS's time zone delay recording of the daytime<BR>
soaps?<BR>
<BR>
On a side note, I recently got to witness a quad machine in action for the<BR>
first time! It was a later model Ampex (sorry don't know enough about them<BR>
to know which one; a model number wasn't evident on the machine) at South<BR>
Carolina Educational TV. What a thrill to see a tape threaded and played<BR>
back on that beast!<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!<BR>

Hello Sammy,<BR>
<BR>
Welcome aboard!<BR>
<BR>
It is my understanding that the source of the "news flash" was the zone delay recording made at CBS Hollywood, intended for the West coast playback.<BR>
<BR>
As far as whether a kine or tape was used for a certain clip i.e. Cronkite, both of those elements have been around as clips as far back as I can remember. It just depends on where the user got the source material i.e. from another show or an on-the-shelf library item. I've always preferred the tape sources. <BR>
<BR>
