<DIV>Thanks for finding these! I had not seen them before.
Definitely a variety of classic gear there. The bay of 3 Ampex
machines are actually VR-1200's, not 2000's. Also a nice shot of a VR-3000
in the opening and closing montage sequences.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What's the deal with the single gloved hand and the splicer? Isn't
that somewhat pointless if the other hand is bare? I've never used a Smith
splicer, so am I missing something? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also was amused by the tape reel wobbling around on what appeared to be a
manual film winder. What was that about???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Great stuff!</DIV>

caught on tape-- and a lot more</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Rewind in time and play some memories about mechanics, machines and men
(women too) with this trio of clips from a 1976 3/4" videocassette—"Videotape:
Images with Impact"—© Thomas M. Edinger that was found in a student television
station... </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The first clip has a working VR-1000 at 3:58 in</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A minute later, a pair of VR-1000s are seen as a white-gloved editor uses
a Smith splicer and microscope to cut, splice and test an edit.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The tape outlines how NBC ESG (Edit Sync Guide) film-based system worked.
It was used with great success on many shows for more than a decade, even when
electronic editing came in, including the heavily edited "Rowan and Martin's
Laugh In." Black and white film workprint from Laugh In are seen, and Bob Hope
jokes about the editor in the basement...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You'll see VR-2000's, AVR-2's and a variety of 1970's editing gear as the
video explains the history of television editing.</DIV><BR>
