Seems there was at least one USMC remote truck in use in 1972... as cited in the Nov. 1, 1972 SMPTE Journal.

That issue had a lot about remote trucks, including the WMAQ-TV and NBC units that Dennis Degan linked to his pictures after David Crosthwait described working the "Freezer Bowl".

Meant to thank David at the time for his reply to my questions and pictures.  Have been swamped.

David, we'll miss you in Austin.  Was figuring you'd know good places to eat!
