Committee commentary. - The inclusion of stenographic notes which must be transcribed in the definition of "record" found in the Magistrate and Municipal Court Rules has been deleted from this rule in order to eliminate the need for court reporters in the metropolitan court. The requirement that approval be given by the supreme court for mechanical, electrical or other recording, including a videotape recording, has been deleted since it is contemplated that this will be the means of making the record most often used. By adopting this rule, the supreme court has approved the means stated in the rule.
