TECHNICAL WORKSHOP PROVES SUCCESSFUL Last month’s NAEB Video Recording Workshop proved to be one of the most successful meetings ever held, according to evaluations of over thirty en¬ gineers who attended. Talks and papers of outstanding personnel from industry and ETV stations and adequate time allotted for informal discussion added to the success of the workshop, which was held in the studios of WTTW, the Chicago Educational Television Assn, station. This meeting, planned by Cecil S. Bidlack and the Engineering Committee, provided an invaluable op¬ portunity for technical personnel to exchange ideas and investigate new processes and equipment.
