[QuadList] [Fwd: Image and reproduction rights request - TELEF?NICA > FOUNDATION, Spain

Thu Feb 9 12:04:22 CST 2012

It may also be in the Ampex Corporate Papers at the Stanford
University Library. They have an extensive photo file. I used one
years ago for an article I wrote for "The Moving Image." Staff was
very helpful.
