ULTRA RARE EXCLUSIVE! View From Behind Walter Cronkite’s Desk!

Posted on

If you have ever wondered what Walter Cronkite saw from his desk, wonder no more. Thanks to Glenn Mack, here is a shot from behind that famous desk in the newsroom at the CBS Broadcast Center from around 1974. It appears that the two Norelco PC70s are in the process of having their teleprompters changed to newer models. It looks like both cameras are mounted on height adjustable tripods that were usually found only on movie sets, perhaps made by Movieola. Anyone know?
