These folks would roll this machine thru a pair of doors and down a ramp and do single camera remote pick-ups around town with their remote van which was built on a large breadtruck, maybe like the size of a 12' cube van of today, but with full walk-through access. <br>I sat in a bar with the Chief Engineer on the Thursday evening discussing the parade that was happening on Saturday morning. They had used the Quad previous years, so on a bar napkin I designed a simple angle iron frame to be bolted to the truck to hold the VR-7800. The next morning I saw a guy with a tape measure getting measurements of the
VR-7800. When the C.E. and I came back from Lunch, we went thru the scene shop, where they had just bolted the "Napkin Design", all welded and painted, to the floor of the truck and were ready to carry out the VR-7800. On Monday they showed me the footage, which had been featured on Saturday evening, some of which was shot from the roof with the truck rolling, and they were all very happy!These were some of the most creative, "can do" folks that I had ever worked with!<br>Bill<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Don Norwood <dwnorwood@embarqmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Quad List <quadlist@quadvideotapegroup.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sun,

<div>Hi Bill:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any idea how they got the slo-mo output from the 7800 into a broadcast
format? The only way I'm aware of at that time would have been an
"Optical TBC".</div>

<div>All I know is that the first Olympics that I worked, was in Mexico City
in 68, and I was working with the Philippines, ABS/CBN, who were recording
Wrestling on VR-7800's in monochrome, then air shipping tapes back to Manila,
and building a longer show with the VR-7800 slo-motion. <br>I had worked in
May of 1968, in Manila, doing a two week, three machine, VR-7800
training/installation at ABS/CBN<br>In Mexico, all of the International
Broadcast Center, installations had special side tables, alongside each
VR-1200 which held the Smith's mechanical
splicer.</div></div></blockquote></div></div>
