Bob,

Thanks for confirming the 3/4" distribution aspect.

Quoting rabruner at aol.com:

In the 1980s, Bell & Howell - Columbia - Paramount (Later Rank Video  
Systems USA) in Northbrook, IL, had a contract to dub material to  
U-matic for AFRTS.  They were recorded on special blue shell cassettes  
that were re-cycled back to BHCP for testing and re-use.  They had  
about 500 machines set up to deal with this.  There was also some  
government recording done on 8mm hi-8 tape, but I am not sure what the  
eventual destination of these was.
