NAJSB Headquarters 14 Gregory Hall Urbana, Illinois May 14, 1959 Mr. Heal K. McNaughten, Manager Professional Products Division Ampex Corporation 534 Charter Street Redwood City, California Dear Neal: I still remember with pleasure our lunch together at Redwood City some years ago, and have seen Bob Miner and others from your firm increasingly fre¬ quently at our recent meetings. We are especially pleased at this, as we are with the Ampex affiliation as an Industrial Associate, in view of our increased emphasis on the best possible quality equipment and the highest possible standards throughout, for our members and their stations. Since 1951 we have been distributing our NASB (Radio) Network programs on tape. We are very proud of this Network, and it is each year winning in¬ creased respect and recognition. For this national service to our members we have been using two "mass duplicators,” manufactured by L. S. Toogood, and sold by Rawdon Smith. These were purchased with funds from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. As 1 need not tell you, funds for radio have been diffi¬ cult to secure in a period of TV emphasis • Recently, however, there is a great resurgence of interest in educational radio, particularly FM. We would like to retire our mass duplicators to the side lines, and meet the new demands of both increased quality and quan¬ tity, with a battery of perhaps six Ampexes* The new need is Increasingly international as well as national. We have requests for our Network service from various African, Asian and Latin American National Broadcasting Systems. We have recently had to take steps to amend our Constitution to allow an “International Associate” category for the Nigerian, Liberian and other Broadcasting Companies. We would like to be able to announce, and later indicate in our offerings, that our tapes are made on Ampex equipment, and to show such equipment to the increasing flow of visitors from underdeveloped nations all over the world, who visit us to seek our advice as they set up new stations • We believe this would offer a broader market for fine equipment as well as for our programs.
