MASTER CONTROL PANEL: The National Educational Television and Radio Center recently moved to a new building at Packard and Colony Rds., where it is reproducing video tapes for 67b affiliated NET stations and commercial stations throughout the nation. It is the only such video tape reproducing and distribution center in the world, Jack Caldwell, director of the center, said. Shown above is a master control system for remote handling of video tape and recorder-reproducer equipment. Ten TV screens are used for quality control. Eight copies of a TV program can be reproduced at one time. Richard Jorgensen, video tape recording engineer, is shown making an operational switch and electrical measurement involved in duplication of video tape.
