A Recorder for Making Buzz-Track
The only requirements of a buzz-track are that the track be of correct width and located properly with respect to the edge of the film nearest the track, and that the sound produced by a weave in one direction shall be readily distinguishable from the sound that results when the film is displaced in the other direction. — It is desirable that the buzz-track film should be a direct recording rather than a print, since there is then less chance of inaccurate location. A simple recorder has been constructed for the sole purpose of making 35-mm. buzz-track film. It can readily be converted for 16-mm. film. All possible precautions are taken to insure correct track width and location. In view of the small quantity of buzz-track required, it is contemplated that only one such machine will be needed.
