We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
"TRICORN" table consisting of three pie-shaped sections for single, paired or buffet usage is main feature of conference room. North bank of windows (1) are draped with translucent white Fiberglas, giving them effect of being felt, not seen. Overall interior effects are reflected on east (rear) wall with three-dimensional, charcoal-textured surface — the result of translating the "mood" of the design and achieving actual mural in texture. Carpet is thick in a light martini color.
ONE PART DELETED from the "Tricorn" conference table accommodates a typical WBKB executive meeting called by Sterling C. Quinlan (front), ABC vice president in charge of station. Others (clockwise): Con O'Dea, newsroom manager; Rex Maupin, music conductor; Clar Heiser, national spot sales manager; William Kusack, chief of engineering; Elliott W. Henry Jr., advertising, promotion and publicity director; John Fitzpatrick, production manager; Tom Osborne, office manager; Grover J. Allen, executive producer, and Mathew Vieracker, general manager. In background are twin monitor screens.
DEPARTURE in conventional layout of tv stations was instituted by WBKB with central control facility housing 90% of all technical equipment, including all camera control units in area rather than in studio control rooms. Station claims setup permits extremely flexible operation and simplifies conversion to color tv, describing it as "nerve center." Only audio controls and video switching panels are maintained in individual control booths. Shown here is monitor panel console.
BLEND of working and living room characteristics is achieved in Vice President Quinlan's "executive suite." White Fiberglas background is actually continuation of north wall in conference room, while east wall (right) is covered with drawdrapes of soft shades of purple and purple-gray. (Both are window walls, while remaining two are neutral depending on furniture.) Executive desk is warm walnut with cane front and "L" shaped extension for tape recorder and other equipment.
