Ted:

None of the pictures show up for me.

The company was Harris-Intertype when they purchased Gates.

    Harris had a direct connection to 2" quad: The Harris 590 TBC. I ran a VR 1200 in a truck in Ohio for NBC college basketball that had one in lieu of the Amtec/Colortec etc. NBC Burbank had a 590 for month hooked up to a TR 70A for demo purposes in the early 80's. 


  And here is a Harris 590 during the 1980 NAB, showcasing products by just-acquired Consolidated Video Systems, which became Harris Video Systems:





  The original photo and more coverage of the 1980 NAB are in the Harris "Intercom" newsletter, here:

  Check out the photo of the Las Vegas Convention Center on the front page.  Where did the saucer section go?

  Harris trivia question:  What hypenated name was Harris also known by, about the time it picked up Gates?
