[QuadList] HS-100 disc

[David Crosthwait]

Dennis,

Thanks for the Hazard Reeves background. The Wiki says: "Following the war, in 1946, Reeves founded the Reeves Soundcraft Corporation and directed the operation of a number of companies manufacturing a variety of products including recording tape and film, record discs, wire cable, television tubes and cameras and precision recording equipment. Reeves introduced magnetic recording to the film industry in 1948." Looks like they were busy into all sorts of enterprises! Like CBS's Ampex 2" VTR's, might I gather that it was not too much time when the HS 100 came through the door that it went to the machine shop for custom retrofitting?

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.

Reeves' double-system sprocketed magnetic film became the standard for film audio post-production, lasting until the current era of digital sound mixing.
