Vintage 1954 photos of Scully lathes in action

Found these two photos in the 1954 Fawcett "Hi Fi Manual." One is credited to NBC, one to Columbia/CBS. Looks like both of them were using Scully 501 with fixed pitch at the time, pretty standard for mid-1950's.

Dr. Peter Goldmark--"the man who perfected the 33 1/3 RPM long playing album." --WOW--

Wonder if that Scully 501 at Columbia/CBS was the same one on which many a 45 was cut between 1951 and 1966. I'm betting it is . . .
