Dennis,

Ted may want to change the subject line, but in the case of NBC New 
York history, I came across the following: "The first recorded network 
use of the digital frame store synchronizer occurred 7 April 1974 at 
NBC facilities in New York. Tennis matches being covered in Germany and 
transmitted via satellite were introduced or integrated into an NBC 
program." I do not know if this was the NEC FS 10, or the Quantel DFS 
S3000. Or ??? Someone a while back suggested that it may have been a 
Quantel unit. 

Attached here is a scan from the DC Video archives, the NEC FS 10. Two 
of these went to NBC Burbank.

		I say:

	Cool picture, David.  Thanks.
	I'll bet NBC was testing out the FS-10s in New York before sending 
them out to Burbank.   ;)
