You are looking at the latest in video recorders and playback machines - circa 1964. This is the 2" TR-22 in the control room at WJAC-TV. This recorded programs using a very large spool of 2" tape. The spool was about as big as a large pizza and it was heavy. This was sent in by reader Lanny Vrooman. Now a days - anything coming into the station is recorded either in a server or to DVC Pro Tape (which is the size of an old audio cassette).
Even up to 15 years ago - alot of commericals used to come in on 1" tape reels - which was smaller and more compact.
