A friend at the LOC confirmed that the date listed on the website is wrong. This film is from 1945,
showing actual LOC recording practices from that time period.
About 12 minutes in you will see a Scully lathe at the Recording Lab and then a portable disk
recorder in use in the field. Then the movie shows a segment of the Budapest String Quartet in
Coolidge Auditorium.
