<DIV>For any German subscribers or others fluent in the language, there are
several new publications available regarding magnetic recording and
videotape. The publisher's site is below:</DIV>

<DIV>The book "Zeitschichten" (a chronology of the development of magnetic tape
recording) includes information on videotape recorders and page 494 features
several different photographs of machines including my own VR-3000. I made
no other contributions to the book other than the photograph, so I hope that the
text is accurate, but there are no plans to publish the work in english, so I
may never know! However, the books appear to have a great deal of
information about the European machines and should help to preserve the
technological history of our industry.</DIV>
