"Ricky Leacock had a revelation after seeing an early Bulova Accutron watch - it used a 360 Hz tuning fork as a time base -- he realized this was all a timing problem, and that if the camera motor were driven by a tuning fork (later crystal) and the tape recorder recorded a reference signal from a similar tuning fork, cable-less sync sound was possible. Using money from Time-Life (enabled by Drew Associates) this was developed, with the help of engineer Mitch Bogdanowicz." |
