Yeah, well, Ampex was a company full of young, eager engineers who didn't know/care what they were trying to do was "Impossible"... They took that as a challenge....The Beeb, OTOH, was likely full of old-school British "Empire" types, Lord Plushbottom/Captain Bly characters, who thought they could simply ORDER a VTR to be made, & Thy Will Be Done...
