[BC] The Rose Parade

[Larry Bloomfield]

Hi all:

I know that this isn't radio, but I need your help! My good friend, 
former boss and now writer for the Tech-Notes, John Silva is putting 
together a story for us on the history of televising the Rose Parade. 
John was one of the engineers who did the very first televising of the 
Rose Parade when no one else was doing it. We?re looking at a 
report/story that will cover from the Iconoscope cameras through color 
and HDTV ? home-brew microwave gear and more. We are looking for any 
pictures that might support this story. Most seem to have been lost. If 
you have any or know where we can get any that we can use, please help 
us. As I have told John, if we don?t get this recorded, it will be lost.

We would also be interested in any anecdotal information that you may 
have on this subject matter.

FYI: John Silva, in addition to many other firsts in the television 
industry, is the inventor the Telecopter, did the Lawrence Welk Show 
before it was ever on network TV and was very involved in the first 
televising of an atomic bomb blast from Nevada (see the most current 
edition of Tech-Notes). All of these stories have been in the Tech-Notes 
over the years.

Thanks
