reads
, "
Featuring
the
consequences
of
covering
an
Olympics
marathon
in the
movie
capital
without
a
tracking
shot
,
ABC
ordered
up
a
super-duper
mobile
unit
to
fill
the
bill
.
It
carries
two
gyro-mounted
cameras
, a
hand-held
model
,
seven
monitors
, a
crew
of
10
and
driver
.
Custom-built
by a
Colorado
firm
, the
vehicle
is
emission-free
when
driven
by its
two
42-horsepower
electric
motors
, but has a
Chrysler
piston
gasoline
engine
to
carry
it
up
and
down
the
Los
Angeles
hills
. As the
vehicle
silently
tracks
the
marathoners
on their
26-mile
course
, a
helicopter
will
hover
above
to
relay
the
signals
to a
studio
. The
cost
was not
given
, but the
batteries
alone
weigh
2,500
pounds.
