BTW, if this client master on Zonal had dropouts, just what did your
trainee do about it? (Rubbish snipped)

Every trainee worked with an experienced op who was
ultimately responsible for the material copied in his/her room.
There was also a dept supervisor who moved from room to
room during the day. It was amazingly well organised, and no
doubt very profitable:-)

Right. So to copy any tape required a trainee, an experience 'op' and a
supervisor.

Each room has its own permanent op, and trainees who were
"passing through", learning tape copy, disc cutting, editing etc before
starting as assistants in the studios. These were very important training
grounds in which budding recording engineers could learn the essential
basic skills of their craft.

Interesting you found my question about what you would do if there was
dropout on the master tape rubbish.

I answered in full your question about dropouts.
It was your comment about demanding a new recording that was
rubbish.
