The Ampex team that developed the VRX-1000 helical scan VCR VTR (no videocassettes in those days).

That's about right, right? -

There always seems to be a connection. 😀
Obviously I'm referring to Bert Reynolds.
My wife's Grandfather was the backhoe operator for Smokey and the Bandit when the TA jumped a river in Arkansas.
