Interesting our early TR100's did not have that panel, we did have the
editor which sits far right and was well to put it bluntly a little naff
It always pre rolled from SOM so you could spend quite some time waiting for
an edit to rehearse itself.

Our's were early machines as we went from them to BCN 100 and then to MARCs

So I wonder if it was a later edit controller

Hey Dennis,

I have a question about the TCR-100's there at NBC. The one I briefly used
at my first station did not have that keypad and electroluminescent display
on the far left of the machine. I do remember visiting WFLA in Tampa in the
late 1980s and seeing two TCRs. One with and one without the display. What
was the display used for?

When I visited that station, they were in the process of installing two
Panasonic MARC II systems. Engineers from Panasonic were there, trying to
get their machines to talk to WFLA's Utah Scientific automation.

TCR rolled (2 second pre-roll) and was taken (placed on air), that one
single TCR and it's head, playing that cart, was going to millions of
viewers in the U.S. Talk about reliance on something going right! And that
is why two machines were gang-rolled just in case something did go wrong and
the backup had to be placed on air (rare).
