Hazel Yarwood was one of the early women disc cutting engineers working at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios in London at a pivotal moment in recorded sound history. Beginning around 1950, she worked in the cutting rooms as the industry transitioned from 78 rpm shellac discs to the newly emerging 33⅓ rpm LP format. As a cutting engineer, she operated disc-cutting lathes that translated recorded audio into physical grooves on lacquers. Her work took place during a period when EMI was expanding its LP production and refining high-fidelity recording practices.
