On back: "SAN FRANCISCO, June 24--A ward of San Francisco Hospital was turned into a TV studio today as doctors attending the AMA convention witnessed a new visual education aid--color videotape recordings of surgery. In the foreground, an engineer operates the Ampex VR-1000, which magnetically records all the sights and sounds of TV. With the three racks of electronics at the left of the 1350 pound magnetic recorder, both black and white and color TV can be recorded. Ampex Corporation of Redwood City, Calif., and Smith Kline & French Laboratories, pharmaceutical firm of Philadelphia, cooperated in presenting the closed circuit color telecasts and videotaped surgery programs during the 5-day convention.
