[QuadList] Videotape splicing caught on tape-- and a lot more

[Ted Langdell]

Rewind in time and play some memories about mechanics, machines and  
men (women too) with this trio of clips from a 1976 3/4" videocassette 
—"Videotape: Images with Impact"—© Thomas M. Edinger that was found in  
a student television station...

The first clip has a working VR-1000 at 3:58 in

A minute later, a pair of VR-1000s are seen as a white-gloved editor  
uses a Smith splicer and microscope to cut, splice and test an edit.

The tape outlines how NBC ESG (Edit Sync Guide) film-based system  
worked. It was used with great success on many shows for more than a  
decade, even when electronic editing came in, including the heavily  
edited "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In." Black and white film workprint  
from Laugh In are seen, and Bob Hope jokes about the editor in the  
basement...

You'll see VR-2000's, AVR-2's and a variety of 1970's editing gear as  
the video explains the history of television editing.
