Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project Video: Two FR-900 Drives Operational

"The LOIRP Project has reached a major milestone of having two Ampex FR-900 Instrumentation Tape Drives operational at once. This will allow us to accelerate the production of images. This is probably the first time in 30 years that two FR-900s have been operational in the same room at the same time."

Good heavens. What is this video supposed to be showing? That the photographer needs to sober up? I got dizzy watching it.

Kudos for getting those tape drives running. I have a real fondness for old hardware. I wish I had enough money to open up my own technology museum.
