The organization of a sound department is treated briefly. Equipment requirements such as standardization, simplicity of circuits, and special testing are discussed. To provide a general idea of the work necessary to maintain sound recording equipment, transmission and electrical maintenance are discussed, with comments based on past experience. General statements regarding records and reports showing their use as valuable tools in this work are included. The latter part of the paper deals with a large studio installation, indicating how the methods outlined are applied.
