Re: [ARSCLIST] message from Rod Stephens
Hello All,
Well, this gets "curiouser and curiouser"!
First, I haven't received any of my "repostings", so I'm in the dark as
to who really reposted it (I tried with two of the ARSCLIST members).
So, I'm only guessing that it was posted ("Coronation Recordings [3]")
as I composed it not having seen it.
Lou, I wasn't the one who originally wrote the body of the first emails,
it was Peter Copeland over in England, and it is he who is trying to
create the stereo version of the Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation. So,
that is the reason for the British terminology.
Thanks to all who reposted our correspondence; I thought Peter had some
very interesting insights into the process of recording a BIG event in
England in 1953.

In the USA Bottles are for beer or milk; we call your valves "tubes"

and a
very sophisticated "main gain" control (a stud fader) which also
altered the
feedback.
And, is a "stud" fader a screwdriver adjusted pot, or something else?
"Stud" has other meaning in the UsA as well.
And most important, will it be possible to do a stereo version of the
coronation? If so maybe the Kennedy funeral could be similarly treated
here.
Thanks!
