Thanks for all the great information.  When I started this thread (and 
the preceding one), having never been in broadcasting (I followed the 
Military communications then aerospace electronics fields), I was really 
ignorant about the history of the TV Broadcasting electronics field.

When I asked the first question about recording early TV broadcasts I 
surmised that there might have been a couple ex-TV-broadcast engineers 
on this list.  It appears that there are more than I thought.

Again, thanks for the education!
