Great article, Tom. I'm a little surprised they didn't go into how the
stuff was edited.

Wire cutters?

HAR! Almost. The short version is that they ran the tape to the point
that they wanted to edit, then put disclosure fluid on the spot to find
the magnetized recording lines, and under magnification found the place
they wanted and sliced the tape at that point. The footage that was
spliced in was put in, and then the process continued. If the cut and
splice wasn't accurate, sync would be lost.

Next time you watch an old TV show (pre-early 60s) note that there are
not tight cuts.
