Extent: 1 audiotape reel (approximately 33 minutes) : analog, 3.75 ips, acetate, 4-track, 5 in.
The sound quality ranges from good (interviews with Rachael Yocum and Harry Bernstein) to poor (interview with Richard Lindgren, which is low volume and marred by "tape hiss"). However, except for the beginning of the interview with Richard Lindgren, the speakers' voices are easily intelligible.
