	Ampex Information
		In 1948, ABC used an Ampex Model 200 audio recorder for the first-ever U.S. tape delay radio broadcast of The Bing Crosby Show and Crosby became the first American entertainer to use tape recordings to pre-record his radio shows and to create master tapes of his music recordings.
		The format was licensed to RCA for use in their "television tape recorders." Ampex's invention revolutionized the television industry by eliminating the kinescope process of time-shifting television programs, at least in the U.S. with four contigious time-zones, with the use of motion picture film.
		Ampex pursued recording methods in which recording heads were rotated at high speed and the tape movement was kept slow.

		Ampex did not distinguish the '027 invention over the prior art by claiming that the read and write operations occur at the same rate, and there is nothing in the prosecution history to suggest that they must do so.
		Ampex also argues that the digital information signal referred to in claim 83 is the signal as it exists at the time it is written into memory, not as it exists immediately after it is converted into digital form.
		Ampex argues that it would have been apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the write and read addresses represented in Figure 4 by Blocks 166 and 167, respectively, are alternative structures supporting the means referred to in the fourth element.

	Ampex wins a round in its online slander lawsuit
		Company lawyers had argued in court filings that Ampex President Edward J. Bramson had been slandered by the allegedly false online claims by "Exampex" that Bramson had once observed that marijuana smokers should be "taken out and shot" and that a single mother who had contracted AIDS got what she deserved.
		Defense attorneys, who include second- and third-year Stanford law school students, contended in court papers that Ampex's bid to subpoena their client's name ought to be denied because company policies enunciated by Bramson were fair game for criticism, anonymous or otherwise, because he is a public figure, well known in the media.
		Ampex attorneys countered that the company and its executives have a right to know the identity of their accuser and that there is ample precedent in emerging Internet law for courts to ensure that targets of defamatory statements have an opportunity to redress grievances.

		Ampex says it holds more than 600 other patents, and royalties from those may be substantial in the future.

	Ampex changes rules for high-end tape backup - SunWorld - February 1997
		Ampex also plans to double the capacity of its high-end storage line, which will now top out at 330 gigabytes on a single cartridge, later this spring.
		On the hardware side, Ampex's Michael Wilke, senior director of business development, says the company is just now starting to exploit the DST drive's helical scan technology.
		The drives will accept any of the cartridges, although the largest tape library only accepts the smallest cartridge; this limitation is not in the drive itself, but in the loading mechanism, since the company believes that if an IS manager is using the large tape library, then the storage requirements are very large as well.

		Ampex engineers early on saw the futility of longitudinal recording for video and based their efforts on a rotating head design first patented for audio in 1938 by an Italian inventor.
		Ampex's quad design endured for well over 20 years, until it was gradually displaced by 1-inch type "C" helical scan technology.
		Ampex continued to build new VTR models into the dawning of the digital age, but was essentially out of broadcast video recording by the end of the millennium.

	eBay Guides - Ampex VS Quantegy Tape
		You should be aware that The Ampex Corporation sold their tape division in November 1995, thus was born Quantegy.
		That means that any tape that says 'Ampex' on it is at LEAST 11 years old, possibly more.
		Even more can be ascertained about the age of the tape by checking the logo on the box as Ampex did change their box design a few times but I, however, am not knowledgeable enough on that subject to provide more info.
