Back in high school, around 1971, we had a B&W videotape machine that the students used for student newscasts during lunchtime. Vaguely remember seeing the set-up, but can't recall if it used reels of tape or if it was some form of giant casette. The tape did go thru a big U shaped head...

Some company probably got a tax write off giving my school this stuff.

Did it somewhat resemble this 5" Sony "portapack" reel to reel? There were also 7" machines. On the larger machines, IIRC the head assembly was rotated 90 degrees from the rather odd "sideways" orientation that was used to save space on the 5" units.
