			I offer:

	I can answer that.  A producer will request a Beta SP comp to be sent 
over from the New Jersey Archive.  They may put together various clips 
onto one Beta SP.  The material was pretty much all transferred from 
the original film or U-Matic to either Beta SP or MII (I know, I know).
	If there's a rush order, the NJ Archive can feed material by microwave 
to 30 Rock.  We do it all the time.  It comes in on REM 91.
