<DIV>Happy 55th Anniversary of the first network use of Quad in Time Zone
Delay... which is regarded as Quad's first use in an broadcast setting.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Here's the famous picture of CBS Engineer John Radis bending over a
transport </DIV>
<DIV>in the CBS Television City tape room on Beverly Blvd. in
Hollywood. </DIV>
<DIV>The recorder captured the network feed of "Douglas Edwards and the
News" </DIV>
<DIV>as it was aired live in New York, and replayed the broadcast three hours
later to the CBS Pacific network.</DIV>

<DIV>The CBS tape room in Television City was a busy place after that.</DIV>
<DIV>Looks like it might be John Radis at the VTR in the foreground:</DIV>

<DIV>I photographed this picture on a wall at TVC </DIV>
<DIV>during a 2006 tour that CBS Telecine operator David Keleshian </DIV>
<DIV>arranged for members of the Telecine Internet Group.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>CBS's lead in using tape for Time Zone Delay was followed</DIV>
<DIV>by NBC at the start of 1957, according to a 1981 article by </DIV>
<DIV>Charles Ginsburg, the leader of Ampex's Quad development team.</DIV>
<DIV>ABC began doing TZD at the change to Daylight Saving time in
'57.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>The very first VTR seen in public was Ampex's Mark IV
prototype, </DIV>
<DIV>demonstrated to a group of CBS affiliates at the 1956 National
Radio and</DIV>
<DIV>Television Broadcasters convention in Chicago. </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>23 years later, this same machine was retired at CBS-TVC,</DIV>
<DIV>as reported in the caption for this picture...</DIV>

<DIV>that appeared in Broadcast Engineering, May 1981. It accompanied</DIV>
<DIV>an article marking the 25th Anniversary of the Quad format, </DIV>
<DIV>written by Charles P. Ginsburg, who headed the Ampex development
team.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In this photo Joe Roizen of Telegen (L) and CBS TVC manager of Videotape
Recording</DIV>
<DIV>Charles Mesak (R) flank the historic equipment. </DIV>
<DIV>BE credited the photo to CBS and Donna Foster-Roizen.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>One has to wonder where this particular machine went.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So, hoist one for the first generation of Quad engineers... the ones that
made the equipment work at Ampex, and the ones like John and Charles (and
you!) that made it work on the air.</DIV>
