Julian,

This reminds me to ask if you learned anything about the tape delay for "see yourself on color TV". The published plans for the exhibit included one tape delay, but when I saw it in June of 1965, there were two delays, synchronized to a turntable that carried you around, first in front of the camera, then a tape-delayed black and white playback, and finally a second delayed playback in color. I marveled at three tape machines in a row with rollers for zig-zag tape delays in between, but (darn it!) I didn't take a picture. I have not been able to find out if the double delay and turntable were in place at the opening of the fair in 1964.
