Among the sundry assortment of gear at Wayne State University  
Television in late 60's-early 70's was our TR-5, RCA's "portable" quad.
We did a fair amount of haul-in remote production, so come rain,  
shine. and often, snowstorms, we would trundle it in and out of the  
truck, across sidewalks, streets and alleys.
I think its wheels were just small enough to always get caught in any  
pit or crevice, and it was heavy enough to require two people to  
shove it up the slightest incline.
When we were asked to shoot and record campus events like day-long  
seminars and meetings, for internal use, not for broadcast, we might  
instead take another VTR recently discussed here,
one of our two Ampex VR-660's.
