Many studios had both and so could have produced
bin loop masters in either format.. Maybe it was the
player manufacturers who chose Dolby B?

IIRC, Philips only licensed the use of their format if their specification
was adhered to. Anything else would be a nonsense.

Agreed. So was it they who specified Dolby B ?
It was the right choice!

Dobly B was not a part of the spec.

The C cassette was launched in 1963 and
Dolby B was first demonstrated five years later

The Compact Cassette was introduced as a mono format for dictation
machines, etc. Philips were sensible enough to allow it to be used under
license but free of charge. But did retain a degree of control over the
basics.

I'm not sure if this included the use of Dolby B or not. But did over the
basics like speed.
