Abstract: Previous to 1937 it was customary to record full-length reels of dubbing on only one side of the film. In 1937 the procedure of using both sides of the sound negative was adopted. This two-sided recording is done only if the previous take on one side of the reel is a non-print take. Unless the recordist gets an immediate print order on a take he runs the recorder for an additional 25 feet at the end of the take. The short end is saved and the 25 ft allowance is enough to rethread the machine and get up to speed. The first take is not spoiled by this process and may be used up until the time the standard leaders are cut on. This practice has resulted in no difficulties in the studio or at the laboratory. The saving for one year's production is approximately 150,000 feet.
