[QuadList] It Is TELSTAR DAY!!!!! July 10, 1962. This date marks the launch of Telstar 1,

[David Crosthwait]

Telstar was lunched July 10. The TV production was July 12.

Henry Jaffe produced the Telstar Closed-Circuit production in 1962. One of my clients handed me a stack of correspondence a while back concering the planning and execution of this telecast. From one of the charts, it appears that two VR-1000C's were at Andover. I''ll post more here or on the DC Video FB site when I get a chance.

In the mean time, here is one of two photos from this collection (no, I did not see an VR-1000 C shots):

Dickieson, the project manager for TELSTAR, ended up retiring in Sun City here and I got to know him as well. Add to that James Early who did device development for the Telstar Project another great mind and a great friend...Unfortunately all have passed on many years ago.....add to that Eugene O'Neill and other... and look below in comments and you will see some other articles about TELSTAR by some people I was happy to call my friends... I miss them all but thankful to have had the time I did with them. ok lets listen to the TELSTAR song by the Ventures....
