★ NBC NEWS ELECTION YEAR 64 CONVENTION'S CLOSE MARKED START OF HUGE TASK OF DISMANTLING AND SHIPPING SOME 160 TONS OF ELECTRONIC GEAR USED BY NBC NEWS NBC CONVENTION CENTRAL, ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 28 - At the close of the last NBC News broadcast originating here, technicians began the task of dismantling some 160 tons of electronic gear and packing it aboard six large trailer trucks for shipment to locations across the country. It will require a crew of 50 working for a week to complete the job of removing and loading the 77 cameras and the mountain of lights, booms, microphones, headsets and other equipment which was assembled for the NBC News coverage of the Democratic national convention and which must now be returned to NBC centers in New York, Chicago, and Burbank. Only after all the television and radio equipment is removed will workmen start tearing down the complex of control rooms, newsrooms and offices that housed the NBC News headquarters here. The installation runs along one side of the huge Convention Hall and is the size of a combined TV and radio station. A staff of 700 NBC News correspondents, editors, cameramen, engineers and technicians worked in the headquarters, in four mobile units, and at scores of remote locations in the convention city. --o-
