1 ty Cecil S, Bidlack, NAEB TV Engineer When the May Newsletter was mailed to NAEB members a report was included on the Ampex Video Tape Recorder, At about the time of this mailing, Charles P. Ginsberg, project engineer for the new Ampex machine, prepared a paper which was presented May 2 at the Convention of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers in New York, The paper was presented by Ross H, Snyder and gave a brief history of the project and a discussion of the applications for which it was designed. Snyder emphasized that the machine was designed specifically for the purpose of program delay. This explains why it first will be used by CBS and NBC to overcome the 3 hour East-West time dif¬ ference. The use of video tape for this purpose will result in improved quality of both picture and sound and reduced annual op¬ erating costs. Another point stressed in this paper was the fact that the usefulness of the video tape equipment for other purposes will be determined from the experience gained with the equipment in actual operation by the networks who have purchased prototype models for delivery this summer, Ampex officials caution that too much may be assumed too soon regarding its applications both within and outside the television industry. r
