" The RMA Data Bureau became the focal point of the engin¬ eering department's operations as activity increased. In the late 1930s collection and tabulation of data on broadcast receiver char¬ acteristics were an important phase of the Bureau's activity.

"I attended a dinner in New York at which everyone predict¬ ed great things for TV especially if the programs continue to orig¬ inate there!
