E-N-G Mobile Systems, Inc. got its start more than 25 years ago when a local broadcaster in Oakland California, KTVU, contacted Dick Harris, then owner of an RV repair service in Concord CA, to help design a specialty vehicle. With the recent advancement of portable TV equipment, the station wanted to develop a mobile TV system for delivery of television signals from remote locations, back to the TV station, via microwave radio transmission. Harris responded to the challenge by building the first electronic news gathering, (ENG), vehicle on the west coast, and formed a new company, E-N-G Corporation. E-N-G Corporation sold that first van to KTVU TV in 1977, and then soon built another truck for KPIX in San Francisco. Shortly thereafter E-N-G was selling vehicles throughout the country, as the immediacy of mobile television News became an integral element broadcast journalism.
