[QuadList] Quad Carts--Links to RCA and Ampex photo examples

[David Crosthwait]

Your comment reminds me to dig out a video I shot in EJ maintenance about 25 years ago showing how a small cassette would easily fall into the MII transport sideways if not careful, resulting in all sorts of trouble. I think Ron Fleury can attest to that!

We have MII machines here also for archival recovery and digitization. One must keep their eye on it while in operation. 

Again the reliability of quad carts was superior.

Actually, my recollection of the format is that it produces really nice video when the VTR runs properly.  Obviously, that's the problem.  The VTR was temperamental and unreliable.
