Are you speaking of Doug Sax's establishment?
I worked on one project with Doug Sax--one of my BEST!
Ironically enough, the original, razor-blade-edited, in-machine, at-session 30 ips half-inch two track David Hancock master tapes are at...
HDTT! Expect a glorious resurrection of Nathaniel Rosen's "Orientale" in 4 weeks or so.
Getting back to the point, for mastering in the sense of LP cutting, back then you only really needed one tape deck, but two would make it easier, at least in the time frame when mono LPs were still sold because the $1 price increment to stereo was a deal-breaker for some people.

Follow Ups:
when you accomplish what they were able to, you are a recording 'studio'.
What do you call it then when they run long balanced mic cables from Wylee Chapel into Sheffield to record D2D? Remote?
Here's an appropriate def - " a room where an artist, photographer, sculptor, etc. works "
Is that good enough? I hope so. I have the utmost respect for DS and hate when people decide to 'redefine' words or phrases. (I mean no disrespect 2U BTW)
The point I was trying to make is that back in the day, recording studios such as Capitol Records in Los Angeles and Columbia's 30th Street usually would run four tape decks at once.
(A) to avoid generational loss on the backups; and
(B) have a "Native" mono set of tapes from which to cut mono LPs.
I have the utmost respect for Mr. Sax. We got along famously on a personal level, and the project I was running where he cut the lacquers is legendary, with the 2-LP set having sold for as much as $600 on eBay.

Well, heck, I may be mistaken. It was either The Mastering Lab or The Producer's Workshop. This was 1975 or 1977. In either case, almost 50 years ago. What the heck did I know. I do know that they had a Stephens 24 track closed-loop tape deck, and I'm fairly certain that there were Altec 604 speakers in the control room soffet. The studio was pretty narrow, left-to-right. Don't remember anything about the console - I was a "kid"! Did I mention almost 50 years ago? ;)
