Back in the late 1960s when I began my career, I was  involved (quite 
remotely) with MPATI - Midwest Program on Airborne Television  Instruction.  They 
flew DC-6s at 30k feet with VTRs and two UHF  transmitters in a 
figure-eight pattern broadcasting in-classroom TV  instruction.  Attached are three 
photos of the on-board VTRs.  I  don't recognize them.  Do any of you?  I'd be 
interested in finding  out. 
Boy, talk about the precursor to satellite  distribution!!
