[QuadList] Picture of the day (link to)---and who's in it?

[Bill Carpenter]

 Hi David and everybody,

I worked very closely with CFI in those days, and I am trying to remember my 
friend who I last saw at an outfit that was colorizing movies. His name may have 
been Gary Thompson. I tried to get him into a BIG still store system about 1984. 
I think he went on to something with Disney.

The AVR-1 was the greatest, but also a very complex machine. The Charley Coleman 
designs were Great, but usually very complicated. 

I worked with Al Trost on three great machines as the Product Manager during the 
Design Phase and the Product Introduction, the AVR-2, the VPR-20, and the VPR-3. 
His designs were usually very basic, and clean, and bulletproof.

All of the very complex Ampex machines were also relatively small volume 
products. 

Namly the AVR-1, ACR-25, ADR-150, AVR-3, ACR-225, and DCT 1700, all never passed 
the 500 unit built milestone. I don't know about the D2 machines?

Bye for now, Bill

Bill,

The AVR1-1 will correct the same wide ranging errors, hence many facilities 
recorded on VR-2000's and played back on the AVR-1 in the edit bays. CFI  was 
one of them. In that manner, an error in record guide position could be 
immediately caught.
