There were also 12 horns and 3 trumpets in the 100 plus piece orchestra.  Bill Reichenbach had this to say about the section:

We had a pretty good time on that Apes score. Some of the sessions had 6 trombones and one tuba, which limited the contra count to a max of 3 at any given time. Then there might be a bass or two, and the balance in those puny tenors.

On the large orchestra days, we had the section which you see in the picture. The trombones were separated 6 on a side and the 2 tubas were on the left side together. Occasionally, we would have 2 contras on one side, and one contra plus the tubas playing contras or cembassos on the other.

  There was an attempt on the part of the composer and orchestrators to create some antiphonal effects. I don't think Gabrielli was achieved (must less surpassed) but it was interesting.

I was quite impressed with the low brass presence on the film. Sometimes we play a lot of very difficult stuff, and when you see the film, it all sounds like strings (as in "Pearl Harbor" which had 4 trombones and 6, yes six, tubas).
