There's a BBC Engineering Training Department book on tape recording
by Percy J Guy which was the UK industry standard for many a year.
Originally written in the '50s, it may or may not have been updated to
take in things like Dolby. But a good read anyway for anyone
interested in such things. I thought I had a copy somewhere - but
can't find it.


Yes. The BBC manuals were good.

This is actually a book rather than manual.

But are they available outside the BBC?

Published by Iliffe, IIRC


Thanks. I'll take a look. One of my old friends was
a BBC lecturer at Wood Norton, back in the analogue
days which he refers to as "steam broadcast"

I have some of his course material in ring binders.

If you mean M T-S, Percy Guy was before his time, IIRC. But will still
have been spoken about where such people gather. ;-)

I wonder what happened to the ETD library when the place closed?
