On the last page of the closing credits, you see the Westrex Recording logo. It appears in a lot of old movies. This is the noiseless recording process I mentioned previously. It was developed by Western Electric, the manufacturing arm of the old AT&T. Their logo appears in even earlier films. Because of AT&T's regulated monopoly status, they had to spin Westrex off into a separate company.
