		Dennis:

	Where were the CMX edit rooms located?  When I was there back in
1978, 
there was only one CMX room, near the east end of the tape floor close 
to the freight elevator.  The edit room was equipped with 4 TR-70Cs, 
the only TR-70Cs in the building at the time.

		Rory:
I suppose I remember the 4 TR-70s as 2 edit rooms. I must be getting old.
In those days the lowly "new guys" were only allowed in to clean the
filters!!

 >  2850 's is correct, followed by 2000's and then 800's


		Rory:

 > There were still 4 VR-2000s used for on-air playback.

		I offer:

	I guess you are referring to these VTRs:

	Or the other pair opposite, not shown.

		Rory:
That is correct, sir.  When I was there they were numbered 21 thru 24.  
Nice pictures, Dennis.  I wish Id thought of that!  I have a short video of
a TCR threading & unthreading here somewhere.  I must look for it and put it
on youtube.
