New Sound-Retarding Doors for Motion-Picture Soundstages

After discussing the various factors determining the sound-retarding qualities of soundstage doors in general, various such doors, as used at Republic Studios, are described in detail. For the sake of convenience, they are classified as Inside Doors and Outside Doors. The former are double doors using a 1-in. cement plaster coating on each side of the steel frame of the door; the latter are solid concrete doors, 6 in. thick, with an internal steel frame.
