Automated camera equipment

[Chip Chester]

I know one or two former station chief engineers. It's very likely they would have cooked this up themselves, even if available commercially. Basic weather instruments would be no problem, and a scan-back-and-forth pivoted camera is an easy-as-pie linkage.

Cheesy lounge styled music, on the other hand...

Specifically what kind of equipment (1980's era) would I need to recreate this type of setup?
