That is a legendary piece of gear. When they talk of science being indestiguishable from magic, this is it, as it was described to me.

A bit of a precursor to the Birotron, it seems.

No, it is more like taking the commercial broadcast cart machine way past it's most practicable iteration. From what I remember it does what some digital systems still don't do (or need to)

This relic has been long since replaced by products like the 360 Systems Digicart and Instant Replay. I have used the Instant Replay before and it is easy to master, fast, efficient, sounds great and ~no freaking tapes~ to jam in the middle of a show! J ….also it weighs about 10 lbs and is a small desktop unit….

Who knows, one like it could have been used as a set piece once it was no longer in service. Now you make me want to look for one in all the late Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes.

PEG was developed with the BBC. They never took the number of units they indicated. John knows a lot more than me but the heart of the system was a clever, self lacing tape cartridge that Streetly perfected. Another work of engineering excellence that never brought the rewards.

Serial number 47? Are there 46 others out there? (That would mean there were more PEGs than Mk Vs, no?)
