Hi Glenn:

I just checked the specs for both Ampex and RCA and the program time you remember is correct.....6 minutes for the ACR and the TCR was 3 minutes.

        I don't have the specs on the ACR cart capacity but it was certainly not 20 minutes even at 7.5 IPS As I recall it was 6 minutes of actual program time at 15 IPS as there was  a bit of leader / trailer. I used to use 6 minute carts to make "poor man's test tapes" for daily use on the VR-2000s. No not the carts on the VRs, wind them back on plastic spot reels.
