Recorder uses 1/4-inch sound tape for both picture and sound

Summary form only given, as follows. A television recorder that utilizes only l/4-inch standard sound recording tape to capture both picture and sound was recently demonstrated. Noteworthy among the recorder's features is the operation on the linear system, which is similar to the fixedhead Vera machine developed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Also available is a monitor which is important to the ease and efficiency of producing the best recording results. Other components include an excellent camera for use in taping on-the-spot scenes. The aforementioned demonstration aimed the camera out a hotel window toward a nearby park as the visitor saw it. The same view as "seen" by the camera was shown on the television screen by means of the recorder. The recorder is manufactured by Wesgrove Electrics Ltd., Worcester, England. It is sold through Wesgrove International, San Francisco, Calif.
