[QuadList] Cronkite's first half-hour newscast... count the tape roll ins

[C. Park Seward]

Hi Guy,

Seems like the entire dub was overexposed or just recorded with the  
gain too high. Look at the commercials and see how overexposed they  
look. You know the commercials (the cash register) were not overexposed!

Were IO cameras overexposed to make up for poor black reproduction?

Best,
Park
