As longtime PS dot com readers know, we are based in Bridgeport CT, former home of Scully. Scully was America’s leading manufacturer of Lathes for cutting LP masters; only Neumann lathes offered any real competition in terms of quality. Starting in 1962, with the aid of former PRESTO engineers, Scully also began manufacturing high-quality tape machines in a variety of formats. I had a Scully 1″ 8-track machine recently and it was a marvel of engineering; the sound quality was absolutely astonishing. In this article, L Scully describes his father’s start at Columbia Records (also based in Bridgeport in the early 20th century), their movement the manufacture of professional tape machines, ETC. Great piece of history.
There is a plethora of Scully, Columbia/Bridgeport, and Bert Whyte material elsewhere on this site; just use the search box.
