AMPEX AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING
Anyone for Automation?
Yesterday it was easy to say "No" or "Maybe" to the question of automation. Tomorrow there will be few station operators who can afford to say anything but "Yes."
In fact, many are saying "Yes" today, and finding it both easy and profitable to take the first step toward automation. Installing an Ampex Model 355 Integrator, at a cost of well under $1000, provides a variety of basic automatic functions adaptable to a wide pattern of station operation methods.
Whether you're interested for today or for the future, it will be helpful to have the facts from Ampex. Call in the Ampex man, or send for the new Ampex Automatic Programming Brochure.
