Daphne Oram running what appears to be a training course.
Jenyth Worsley in the north-west corner of Room 12, with an EMI TR/90 tape machine behind her and Leevers-Rich 8-track to the right, the window looking through into Room 11. She's leaning on a Ferrograph tape recorder with a tape loop running round a chair. Jenyth, a studio manager attached to the Workshop in 1961, was famous for her work on Radio Schools 'Music & Movements' series especially the 'The Magic Carpet'. Dick Mills recalls her being discovered by Desmond cutting up paper dress patterns on the floor of Room 12!
A block diagram showing how sound effects can be added to a programme. In some instances an echo plate was used instead of an echo room.
The three Philips tape machines at the southern end of Room 14. The auto-stop sensors on all three are in the disabled position. These machines later find their way into Room 12.
Schematic showing how one or two tape machines can be used to create one or two delays. Using three machines, as in Room 12, is even more effective. And the tape can also be formed into a loop, so as to create sounds that can be allowed to build up or decay at a desired rate.
Desmond Briscoe stands in front of a set of Jason oscillators. To the right is the wobbulator and the Muirhead Decade Oscillator, the latter being adjusted by an unknown person.
