at the slowest speed possible on whatever machine he was using. Much of it was
on a Philips at 15/16 ips. Aaaaargh.

I know of field linguists who recorded at 15/16 (yuck!) because they
were limited in the amount of space they had for tapes and wanted to
be sure that they were able to record as much as possible.
