This was in 1959. It is not known when the ninth machine was added. I may know next month when interviews continue.</font></div>

<div>Douglas Edwards was on CBS not NBC. Wrong network. Besides it did not have the RCA label on it so NBC could not buy it.</div>

<div>NBC bought three VR-1000's at or after the demos at the 1956 NAB.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two were put to use at NBC Burbank, and the third ended up at RCA Labs in NJ, where it was taken apart, and RCA's people developed circuitry to record and recover color... the low-band, non-standard "RCA Labs Color" referred to in threads here and on the website:</div>

<div>David Crosthwait has photos on<a target="_blank" href="http://www.dcvideo.com/obsolete-video-formats/2-inch-quad.html"> DC Video.com</a> of the NBC Burbank tape room in the late 50's showing a plethora (Eight, if I recall correctly) VR-1000's that did the bulk of the time-zone delay, and were THE machines in place before RCA got its TRT-1's into production.</div>

<div>You'll have to wait while the photos on David's site cycle through... but it's worth the wait.</div>
