Abstract

began his career at TPC in Pittsburgh at the beginning of the independent TV facilities era. Eight years later, he went to Los Angeles to join Ruxton, Ltd. After two years, he returned to TPC (now Unitel Mobile) continuing with technological advancements, including the first triax repeater that enabled cameras to operate more than 10,000 ft., gaining a reputation for quality that led to the formation of a division specializing in entertainment television. In 1998, Dave Mazza invited him to join the newly formed NBC Olympics Engineering Group. Having a multigames rights arrangement in place, they were tasked with designing and building a reusable technical infrastructure that culminated in the Racks-In-A-Box system still in use today. This platform allows for a system of 20 racks to be wired, tested, and transported via sea container, significantly reducing installation time and improving reliability. Adams attended the Ohio University School of RTV from 1969RTV from to 1973
