Our editing systems can make various fixed (rotating, of course, but not
translation) head machines -- VPR-3's, etc.. (mostly 1-inch machines - I'm
not sure how we do on 3/4" machines, but I think we can do it on them too,
or at least come close) execute a frame accurate edit, no problem.  It's all
in the timing.
