[QuadList] Guy's Army tape playback--Was it recorded in one of these?? (and other misc. things)

[Guy Spiller]

That could very well be, Ted.  The director of this Army stuff is the 
one who brought them to me.  This particular recording was made at Fort 
Benning, GA.
He was not too technically inclined, as I asked him about the equipment 
he used back then.  He did say the Army had some remote trucks with 
quads in them and these tapes were shot with one of them, but he really 
didn't remember for sure, but he "thought" they might have been RCA. He 
was a bit more sure that the cameras were RCA.  I wouldn't put too much 
faith in his recollection though!
