Abstract
Sound recordings and moving images (audiovisuals) come in many varieties and require all manner of machines to record and replay them. This short primer focuses on a few of the audiovisual formats common to archival holdings: motion picture film and magnetic tape. While they share certain physical, mechanical, and environmental characteristics, they are distinctive enough to justify this brief exploration. Our hope is to familiarize the reader with some general points about these unique materials.
