Re: [ARSCLIST] proper cataloging terminology: acetate vs lacquer?



"Speed" definitely goes back before Nagra. I have take calls from the early 50's where "speed" is the term instead of the later "rolling" or "we're rolling." Does "speed" go back to optical film-sound or to early disk recording, maybe to indicate a mechanical recorder was up to full speed?

Yes - Nagra speed lock is the origin of this as far as I know. Let's the director know you are with him... Maybe it goes back farther than that in the film biz.

I usually revert to a casual "go ahead" when not on a set with
protocols.

I have always liked to use " SPEED " to indicate recording. Probably has to do with NAGRA pilot tone flag indicators and VTR lockup.
