[PUZZLE] TT "In Production" Graphic

In the "In Prodution" graphic on the the Tomorrow's Talk website, there seems to be a few tapes missing from the shelf. On the visible shelf, the tape labels run sequentially from 60312 to 60324, then jump to 60328. Kind of makes one wonder what happened to the tapes marked 60325, 60326, and 60327, eh? Could these be the lost "Dread House" tapes?

It also appears that the following are missing:
6|0309, 6|0310

(The first tape seems to me to be 6|0308)

Not sure how useful, but there it is...

PS: My first post! Very Happy Hope it's all right...

I was just looking at the tapes again and something struck me...

Could it be that 0308, 0311-0315, 0318-0324, 0328 are all dates? If it is, then March 9-10, 16-17 are both weekends in 2002 (Although that appears to be before Dread House supposedly started...) If it's 2003, March 9-10, 16-17 are Sunday and Monday respectively, with March 25-27 at Tue-Thurs.

I still have no idea what the 6| is supposed to mean, though...

Dates-nice spec.

The memo is dates March 14- close to those dates.

The scouted out the location in December 2002, so that would fit the timeline as they were preparing the show.

So, after seeing the high-res version of the tapes (found here from this post), I'm ready to change my mind about the numbers referring to dates...

If you look at the bottom-left of the jpg, you can see what looks (to me) to be 6|034_ (Not sure what the last number is). Not very date-ish. Sad

Hi everybody! Long time lurker...first time poster.

Just noticed that there are no number 7s in that row of tapes either. And after looking at the blueprints there appears to be something "goofy" with cottage number 7 as well. While I am on the subject of the blueprints. Anyone else notice that there is no number 10 or 13?

This is pure spec on my half and I am a beginner too at these so take it as you will.

What do you mean "goofy"?

Is it that the tunnel system doesn't run to it?

Well that is, because I would assume, that cottage number 7 was originally on the north side of the campus in the same row as the even numbered columns. That is according the map that showed the old buildings and this sketch:

http://cambridgementalhospital.com/maps2.html

The lines indicated on the above sketch are a close representation of the tunnels but not exact. That is my assumption of what they indicate. But we all know what happens when we assume.

The updated drawings show that cottage number seven was moved to the south side of the campus to be in row with the odd numbered houses.

I realize that this site may be out of game but they have some info about the Cambridge Hospital. Having said that the maps that they show indicate that cottage number 7 was in the odd row of cottages in 1975 shown here:

http://kentandersonphoto.com/hospital/history/campus1975.html

And in 1979 cottage number 7 is not to be found anywere on campus as shown here:

http://kentandersonphoto.com/hospital/history/campus1979.html

And the tunnel system does run to where the old number 7 was on the north side of the campus.

I guess thats what I mean by "goofy"

Well, since you brought it up, there is that story on urbanmythology about the importance of 7. Maybe it has something to do with that entry

Just for reference, including the link.

Hey Its me guys......Just like to point out to Lobo:

From my years of lighting, stage, tv production jobs (and im not sure if its just a new zeland/commonwelth thing) The missing sites 10 and 13 there is a reason for....when drafting up a location scedual (or lighting scedual or audio set up or alot of tech stuff) they skip 10 and 13......13 cause its unlucky and 10....ok I dont know why they skip 10 but they do.

It may not be the reason but 80% of the places I've worked its been that way....

Thats terrribly odd... Perhaps _every_ studio reserves those slots for unsightly evidence?
