CONTROL ROOM - MULTI-CONTROL POSITION
A nightmare job: the multi-control position which
replaced individual control positions for networks. This panel could
handle six networks, with pre-programmed switching: sequential
monitoring changed networks on the speaker every ten seconds and drove
the operator mad. The Ferrograph tape recorder on the bay was for
making reference recordings, not for broadcast tapes. Photo taken in
May 1966. MCP was replaced by studios going straight to line a few
years later.
