[QuadList] Welcome Harold R. Deppe-CBS NYC 1949-73 (Was Re: Question for George Keller)

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, Harold R,

Welcome to this growing group of around 90 members.

Today Show editor Dennis Degan has a collection of photos he shot at  
CBS, and other NYC locations here:

Hope you recognize things.  I'm curious about the telecine setups seen  
and general operating practices regarding film island usage for  
production and live to the network.

Ted.
