Electronic Indexing for ¼-in. Tape Music Library

W. D. Hedden, Roger J. Snowdall

In using a ¼-in. magnetic-tape music library in sound motion-picture production, the location of particular selections is often time-consuming and tedious. A simple electronic indexing system that eliminates the necessity of listening to audible cues is described. Desired selections may be located in the high-speed modes of the tape deck. This system with presently available tape decks, automatic threading and complete remote control, further enhances the musical scoring process.
