what engineers did when there was a task: Invent!

	Yes, Reeves had a well-equipped machine shop on the first floor at  
304 East 44th Street where two German craftsmen made all kinds of  
special equipment and parts.  Reeves' world-renowned Sound Shop audio  
facility in the same building was full of these special do-dads.  The  
facility, opened in 1947 as Reeves Sound Studios, was where the audio  
for all Cinerama movies were mixed.  When I worked at Reeves in the  
1980's, the Sound Shop was where literally hundreds of movies and TV  
shows were mixed.  Our video maintenance shop was located directly  
behind the largest mix room, Studio C, where most of the big stuff was  
done.
	Hazard Reeves was the inventor of mag-sound sprocketed film for movie  
post-production.  Beginning in 1948, mag-film effectively made optical  
post-production obsolete.  Reeves' double-system sprocketed magnetic  
film became the standard for film audio post-production, lasting until  
the current era of digital sound mixing.
