limited to only 5KHz, and in fact would a separate path from the  
video.  So the recording had to be made at the studio in Burbank, and  
not New York, judging by the
high audio quality.

		I add:

	This audio system was in place until 1977!
	BTW, the 5KHz audio was pretty good.  Though band-limited, there was  
not a lot of noise present.  True, it wasn't high fidelity as we know  
it, but you'd be surprised at how good it sounded.  I'm pretty certain  
now that, based on what I know, the recording was made in New York or  
somewhere along the network line.
