Thanks Paul,

The standard Scophony-Baird Soundmaster was single speed, 7-1/2ips; I've not heard of a 4.8ips version, but the Cine-Soundmaster which preceded it was designed for synchronising 8, 9.5 and 16mm film to sound projector; this most probably ran at 4.8ips. (One of our forum members has an example - can he help?)

The Baird TRS1 which followed - an entirely new deck - had optional speeds to customer choice, but this was aimed at industry/science/military rather than cine.
