[QuadList] Assemble edits vs Insert edits (wasOMG!!!!)

[Don Norwood]

Hi Park:

I guess it depends on what the definition of "widely" is.  I think the 
original electronic editor came out in '62, but Editec followed shortly 
thereafter.  I have a 38 page booklet that Ampex published in '64 entitled 
"An Introduction to Modern Video Tape Editing Practice.....using the Editec 
System".  All of the illustrations show it installed in a VR-1000.  The 
VR-2000 also came out that year, and the multi-generation capability of Hi 
Band may have done as much for electronic editing as the edit system itself. 
I'd be very interested in first hand accounts of the changeover from 
mechanical to electronic editing.

Don
