A RECORDING MACHINE FOR N. A.3.B * V/hafc could you do with a recording machine* one of the finest instantan¬ eous recorders available — a machine that makes transcriptions suitable for broadcast? What could our members accomplish for themselves and the Association by having the uso of such a machine for a time? Yos, nogotiatiens are under way and just about completed for the purchase of a fine recording outfit for the use of N.A.E.B. members on a rotating sched¬ ule, limited time basis* This is to bo made possible through a grant from one of the foundations* Tests by v/HA engineers on three different recorders during the past throe months have brought remarkably fine results and have resulted in the selection of a machine recommended for purchase* One of. those machines is already in service at YJHA, bought and paid for by the Wisconsin State i/Icdical Society* The Society plans to build a library of recorded health talks for broadcast over the state stations and for distribution to local medical associations and stations* In return for technical attention and care, the recording machine is to remain at VfHA and bo available for general service* (A hint t« other stations?) ho have been talking for years about exchanging program ideas and informa¬ tion. Hero, then, is a chance to exchange not merely note and manuscripts but programs in their original sound and spirit. Tho records, mind you, have wide frequency range, low surface noise, and clear quality. With practice and skill from experience, an operator can make records which are good enough for broad¬ cast over any man’s radio station* Now , how sha11 WG tho most of this opportunity? What could the mach¬ ine do for you? .Aid what contribution could you make to others? Let’s have some ideas on tho subject to help put this project through* LET’S TRY THESE ON OURSELVES Are wo looking ahead? a* vshat do wo need most to do a better job of broadcasting? b. Do we know what our "next stops" are? c* What obstacles are most persistent in holding up progrooo? d. Have wo stopped to figure out a course which will lead to a solution of tho problem? c. In tho case of facilities being made available on a basis of a record of service and use of present facilities, what could wo demand? f. Arc wo looking ahead in technical improvements? g. What about television, facsimile, short-wave, high fidelity -- and other undetermined quantities? Arc wo experimenting? h. Arc our programs such as to warrant listeners tuning in again? i» Do we have an adequate studio layout, or are wo making definite progress toward getting bettor quarters? j* Have wo given those who would like to bo our friends enough of a chance to help in building a better radio service?
