[QuadList] Mechanical Splices

[george keller]

Dennis,

I know the guy on the phone and I think he came after mechanical editing. I can't quite place the fellow at the machine.  Also those machines had Editeks.  I think those machines were TVE and F.  Do you remember if there was an ACR right across the room from those machines??

You have some great fotos there, if it matters, perhaps i could put some names with the pix.

ot there, but the splicer used was made by the CBS machine shop, it  
idn't do any "L" type splices.  Most of the edits I saw done and  
ater on old 2"tapes was mostly video only splices.

ape editing with my own eyes, at the CBS Broadcast Center in NY in  
978.
I was told that the editor was cutting "Captain Kangaroo":
