[QuadList] UK archivist trainer needs Quad tape samples, reels, ACR & TCR cart samples

[Ted Langdell]

The group is getting some international attention.

I was contacted by a Stephen R. Gray, the Technical Support Officer  
Moving Images with TASI (The Technical Advisory Service for Images)  
http://www.tasi.ac.uk/index.html  a UK service that provides training  
to the Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE) communities.

He's trying to find some Quad tape and reel examples, along with  
ACR-25 and TCR-100 spot cartridges.

He'll use them in training archivists to recognize what's in their  
collections, and have a clue as to what hoops might have to be jumped  
through in order to transfer content to digital files.

I've asked Tony Quinn, a UK member of the Old VTR's list and Richard  
Wright of the BBC Archives if they could assist or point Stephen to  
someone who can in the UK.

If you're able to help or know someone who could, let me know.  I'm  
sure that Stephen would arrange for shipping or reimbursement.

Hope you're all off to a good start this week.  Roll Quad 3.

Thanks,

Ted
