Hi Ted,

I have no idea where the AVR-1's went?

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.
