Physical Description
Audiotape reel
Extent: 1 audiotape reel (approximately 33 min.) : acetate, two-track, 7.5 ips ; 10 in.
Sound quality is good overall in that the speakers' voices are easily intelligible. However, the interview with Walter Terry is marred by extraneous noise due to its having been recorded at a restaurant.
