Designers of world class EQs, wave filters must have been using this or the equally excellent:


Elements of Sound Recording - Frayne, Wolfe


These 2 books by the way were favorites by Mikes Psalidas, electronic engineer who designed the electron tube adding (mixing)  console for Finos Films in Athens and one for Vangelis.


So possibly at least 2 oscars, Zorbas, Never on Sunday. Did Vangelis used this console for Chariots of Fire?


The coils or inductors for voice effort EQ etc were wound by his friend Tasos Fousekis at a basement in Syntagma square (opposite the parliament) that part of a known airline company offices.


A great generous man.
