...is different from the traditional library wind, which is usually a two-button salute.
On Studer you have to enter the Edit mode, doing two pushes. The first one activates the Edit speed button, the second push disengages the rollers, so the tape would not touch the heads, it would go in straight line instead, as it does for FF and Rewind. You then turn the Edit knob to set the speed.
This is somewhat similar to what the Lyrec does, for instance.
Different machines do it different ways. On an MCI you have continuously variable speed, starting with zero, on Telefunken you have a three stage switch, on most machines you have to press two buttons simultaneously, and on Ampex ATR-800 you use the Shuttle control.
The important thing is the presence of that very valuable function. I pretty much never use the full speed wind.
