Scoredisc System of Cueing
THE Scoredisc Service Corporation of New York City has a system for cueing productions which is very practical in its workings. The "Scoredisc" consists of two sheets of cardboard labelled "A" and "B," one being designed to go on either of the two main turntables of any non-synchronous sound reproducer. These paper discs have printed, around their periphery, cues numbered consecutively from one up in odd numbers on one disc and consecutively from two up in even numbers on the other disc, the two combined being designed to cover an entire production.
In Fig. 441 you have a view of one of these paper discs. You will observe a great many slots shaped something like the Indian's Pipe of Peace. You will also observe that these slots are of various lengths, the slotlength determining the length of time that particular setting of the needle will play. To use these discs, as has been said, one is placed on either of the two turntables and the needle of one turn-table is placed at the bent end of the slot of cue No. 1. When the production starts, the disc is set rotating. The paper disc remains stationary and the disc is played until the needle, by the grooves of the record, has been moved to the end of that slot, whereupon the needle of the other turntable is lowered into the same position of the slot corresponding to cue No. 2, and so on throughout the entire production.
Of course, this requires a different record for each
