I took these photos in the TV newsroom, studio, and workshops of CHAN TV on Valentine's day in 1972 when I was a teenager. Ron Maurier (popular newscaster, pro wrestling host, and children's show host as "Uncle Ron") invited me, and he is visible briefing himself in the newsroom, in the studio, and in front of the weather chalkboard. In the teleprinter the breaking news of Prime Minister Trudeau's argument with David Lewis is legible. Note the test pattern generator--a paper test pattern in a plywood box with a forced-air cooled television camera pointed at it. In other photos two-inch Ampex videotapes are visible as well as spare vacuum tubes. Some of these negatives have spoiled in storage, and my hand-held photography with a manual camera (not even a light meter) was not the best. Click to enlarge and enjoy.
