You gotta get "Fast Forward", a funny and intreguing lok at the advent of
videotape technology...the soap opera surrounding the battle between
Matsushitia, Sony, & JVC, & the early history of the work done by Ampex,
where it came from, & where it went.
 
"Fast Forward" by James Lardner.  1987 WW Norton, Publisher. ISBN
0-393-02389-3
 
BTW...if you find a source for them, please let me know...I lost my
