Ted,
Sorry about that somewhere in my muddled mind I confused you with "Uncle Bob" who also spent a lot of time in music studios, even though it's kind of obviously you not him AND Sabotage is one of my favorite films!
To add even more confusion on the subject I also found a "how to" for field recorders that says the "slate tone" is 400Hz. So there are probably a bunch of tapes with 400Hz beeps also. But since I dealt 90% with FX recordings and most of the time the mic's were going direct into the Nagra they were "beeped" with the tone generator that was built in.
The Nagra has this weird lever system so while fast forwarding you could ease the lifters closer to the heads.
