<font size="+1">Some of you may remember individuals on the Ampex
VR2000 team. This picture was taken about a year after the VR2000
was production released. I will list the men left to right and
what they did on the VR2000 team to the best of my memory.<br>
1. Grant Smith, project administrator<br>
2. Phil Adams, asst. to Grant Smith, Hal Clark<br>
3. Jerry Hoey, asst. To Grant Smith, Hal Clark<br>
4. Peter Jensen, Channel and Master Equalizers, Colortec<br>
5. Roy Becker, Mechanical, Packaging,Documentation<br>
6. Tony Booker, Maintenance of Product Design, Tapes<br>
7. Harold Clark, Servos<br>
8. Bill ?, Lead technician<br>
9. Charlie Crum, Systems Engineer<br>
10. Hank Kuge, asst. to Hal Clark<br>
11. Al Trost, Demod, Filters, Proc Amp<br>
12. Dawn Boynton, asst. to Al Trost<br>
13. Elwin Macrae, Mechanical, Packaging<br>
14. ??? I believe he was liaison with manufacturing.<br>
15. Steve ?, Mechanical<br>
16. Bill Herzog, asst. to Peter Jensen, Charlie Coleman<br>
17. Charlie Coleman, Project Engineer, Record Amps, Preamps,
System design, Amtec<br>
Actually everyone above worked to Charlie Coleman's requirements.
It became known to everyone in the company who had anything to do
with the VR2000 that there was a new unit of measurement, the
"Coleman unit". A Coleman unit was so small that we didn't have
instrumentation to measure it, you just did the very best you
could.<br>
<br>
There were several men missing on picture day. I can think of the
following: Mike Felix, mathematician and modulator designer, Merv
Falk, mathematician and playback network designer, Bob
Atchison,responsible for all testing in manufacturing.<br>
<br>
I apologize if I left anyone out or didn't credit properly, but it
has been about 48 years. <br>
