- 3 - TV Technical Tips No. 13 October, 1935 By Cecil S. Bidlack, NAEB TV Engineer The 1955 NAEB TV Engineering Workshop, made possible by a grant from the Fund for Adult Education, is now history. Representatives from EIGHT EDUCATIONAL STATIONS NOW ON THE AIR ATTENDED AT THE WORKSHOP. Others in the group were from stations' under construction or in plan¬ ning STAGE.S AND FROM CLOSED CIRCUIT STUDIOS. In OUR OPINION, THE 1955 WORKSHOP WAS BETTER THAN THE 195^4* WORKSHOP IN MANY WAYS. BUT SINCE WE MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY BIASED, PERHAPS WE SHOULD AWAIT THE WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM THOSE ATTENDING, RESTRICTING OURSELVES TO REMARKING NOW MERELY THAT WE RECEIVED MANY FAVORABLE COMMENTS FROM THOSE IN ATTENDANCE. THE ENGINEERING COMMITTEE IS TO BE CONGRATULATED upon its choice of WKAR-TV as the Workshop site. With the excellent COOPERATION OF THE WKAR-TV STAFF, THE PROGRAM MOVED AT A FAST PACE. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY, WE KEPT PRETTY YfELL. ON SCHEDULE, PROVIDING AN OCCASIONAL BREAK (UNSCHEDULED) IN THE DAYTIME SESSIONS AND STILL SEEING THAT SPEAKERS RECEIVED THEIR ALLOTTED TIMES. In SPITE OF THE FACT THAT OUR DAY BEGAN AT 8 A. ft/1. AND RAN UNTIL 9 OR 9:30 P. ft/I., WITH RUMP SESSIONS LASTING MUCH LATER, ATTENDANCE WAS 100> FOR THE WEEK WITH VERY FEW TARDY ONES FOR THE MORNING SESSIONS. OF THE TWENTY-FIVE WHO RECEIVED WORKSHOP GRANTS, ONLY BOB HlGGY OF WOSU-TV WAS UNABLE TO BE PRESENT. HE REMAINED IN COLUMBUS IN ORDER TO GET WOSU-TV ON THE AIR WITH TEST PATTERN. DAN JACOBSON OF THE Broadcast Bureau of the FCC attended as an invited guest as did Cy Braum of tHE JCET. Two DA‘YS OF THE WEEK’S PROGRAM WERE DEVOTED TO KINESCOPE RECORDING, I WITH LIGHTING, TRANSMITTERS, MICROWAVE, FILM, SWITCHING, AND STUDIO EQUIPMENT, AS WELL AS PERSONNEL RELATIONS, RECEIVING ATTENTION, OUR SPEAKERS WERE FROM TELEVISION EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS, ALLIED SERVICES, THE NETWORKS, AND OUR OWN EDUCATIONAL STATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS. THEY ALL DID A FINE JOB AND WE CAN BE PROUO OF OUR EDUCATIONAL TV PERSONNEL WHOSE TALKS AND THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION THEY IMPARTED WERE ON A PAR WITH THE OTHER SPEAKERS ON THE PROGRAM. IN MY OPINION, IT WILL BE A CHALLENGE TO KEEP THE PROGRAM OF FUTURE WORKSHOPS, IF SCHEDULED, ON A LEVEL WITH THE ONE JUST CONCLUDED, The Fall General Meeting of the AIEE (American Institute of Electri¬ cal Engineers) will be held October 3“7 AT THE ft/ioRRisoN Hotel in Chicago. The Broadcast Group of the AIEE will devote its entire time October U to the topic of closed circuit TV. One of the speakers will be Carl IWenzer, Director of WSUI and KSUI and Chairman of the NAEB Engineering Committee.
