An early view looking north through Rooms 14 and 13. Daphne Oram is cueing up a disc on one of the turntables on a BBC TD/7 gramophone; note the parallel-tracking arms. To the right, Desmond Briscoe is editing a tape on a Ferrograph recorder, alongside 'Dickie' Bird. The equipment bays on the left remained in use until the late seventies. The turntables in the foreground don't appear to be a standard BBC variety.
The southern end of Room 12. In the foreground there's an EMI TR/90, complete with monitoring loudspeaker, on the left, in front of the Type B amplifier bays and tape loops, there's an LSU/10 loudspeaker, with an EMI BTR/2 recorder to the right. The Jason oscillators and keying unit, along with the Muirhead Decade Oscillator, Muirhead sine-wave to square-wave converter, B&K wobbulator and oscilloscope, are on the bench at the back.
The southern end of Room 12.
Room 12, also known as Workshop 2, looking south, with Type B amplifiers in the rack to the left, BTR2 tape machine, with additional spool and motor, and Philips machines to the right. The mixing desk, in its original diagonal position, is on the left.

Dick Mills, who joined the Workshop in 1958, sits in front of an EMI BTR/2 tape machine, as he keeps his eye on a tape loop running through a machine operated by John Harrison. This picture must have been taken after 1960.
In Room 14, standing by two Philips tape machines, Dick Mills and Brian Hodgson compare tape lengths, under the watchful gaze of Desmond Briscoe. The 'Albert Hall' mixer and Albis equaliser can be seen to the right.
