< Back in '68, they had what I want to recall as a TK-11 set up in  
what was off of/near/in a hallway like area that allowed visitors to  
see themselves on an adjacent monitor.  The hallway allowed people to  
look into several studios from above the lighting grid.

		I say:

	The 4th floor once had that arrangement.  Here are 2 photos of  
control room windows that overlooked a 3rd floor studio:

 > One of the studios was Jeopardy, and the other had a soap opera.  
The tour also included the Tonight Show studio. Which appeared smaller  
than it did on TV, and the steps in the audience area seemed to have a  
rather tall rise.   Interesting to see it then, and then again in  
February.

 > Had a little fun with a tour group when Dennis was showing me  
around.  We were in an elevator lobby on the ___?  floor and I  
mentioned that the glassed in area right behind us was the NBC Monitor  
(radio) control area.  The pages didn't know that.

		I say:

	That was the 5th floor; the floor where I now work.  The studio  
elevators opened in view of "Radio Central", where Monitor was  
produced. Here's what it looks like now:

	BTW, this is a terrific website showing the history of NBC's Monitor  
program:
