A coating built up on the heads which created a protection layer. <br><br>We would leave the head in the record position at all times unless I was demonstrating the capability of the TBC to remove guide related errors.<br><br>I also did a demo where I would show recorded color bars and then due multiple insert edits of other style bars to show the edit quality.<br><br>I made a mistake and after showing the guide error handling capability, where both height and penetration were cranked to extremes. Then I did the insert edit demo, and never switched the head back to record position. <br><br>I made about 10 edits in a row, and went to playback and the Director of Engineering ( Glen Lehman) for the group stopped me, and and took over the demo. <br><br>He got on the intercom, got everybody involved with tape into the demo area, and explained that I had made the worst case edits that were possible, and showed demod out, and then switched to the TBC out. Everybody clapped, and then I figured out what I had done, which was very bad, but turned out great!<br>He explained what I had done accidently, later in the bar, with bar napkin notes. Since, I was never a quad operator, I was keeping the Demo moving, and made a true "Worst Case" tape and did not realize what I had done.<br>Needless to say, this mistake was included in all future demo's.<br><br>Bye for now, Bill Carpenter<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><hr size=1 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> C.
