Well Les Paul may have thought that a multitrack deck would be
a cool thing, but it was Ross Snyder and Mort Fuji at Ampex
that actually invented it. I suppose Les was the "mother of
invention" having the need. But unlike other customized tape
decks he *did* engineer and make on his own, all he was in this
case was a customer. Sel-Sync is more than just multiple
heads on a wider tape. There was a lot of novel engineering
involved.
