Période

Inconnu

Canada

Owned and used by Canadian film maker Bill Mason, who achieved international recognition for his wilderness and canoeing documentaries in the 1960s and 1970s.

Fonction

To record and play back audio signals on magnetic tape.

Technique

The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. This is a solidly-built portable reel-to-reel tape recorder providing two-track monophonic recording at two tape speeds: 7.5 and 3.75 ips. According to Joyce Mason, her husband recorded sound for the film “Blake” on this machine. His daughter Rebecca recalls it was also used to record sounds of children playing in the snow for use in one of his films. [Ref. 1]
