Dedication Day
Two generations of mothers, won from fathers.
From the archive
Dedication of NBC's new Washington, D.C. Facilities, housing NBC network and WRC-TV television studios on May 22, 1958. The program represents the earliest known color recording discovered to date. Recorded on 2" Quadruplex Videotape by Ampex VR-1000 series recorders. The program starts in black and white, showing President Eisenhower arriving outside the WRC studios. Later inside, Robert Sarnoff, president of NBC, pushes a button signifying the inauguration of the WRCA new color studios. As he pushed the button, the color encoder switches from a mono picture to color. For details of the restoration: http:QuadVideotapeGroup.com
