8 NBC TRANSMITTER IV B C TRANSMITTER Published for and by the employes of the National Broadcasting Company from coast to coast. VOL. 4 NOVEMBER, 1938 NO. 11 EDITORIAL BOARD DOM DAVIS Editor CARL CANNON Associate Editor CEORCE OLENSLAGER Staff Writer CHARLES H. NEWTON. Jr Staff Writer CHARLES VAN BERGEN Photographs BILL EDDY Staff Artist N. Y. CONTRIBUTORS W. A. IiAERER W'EAF Transmitter SHIRLEY METZ Publicity Address all correspondence to: NBC TRANSMITTER Room 284, RCA Building, New York Circle 7-8300, Ext. 220 NBC HOLLYWOOD (Continued, from page 6) Lew Frost, assistant to Vice President Gilman, has kept a consistently high average in his games with Carlton Morse, author of One Mans Family, Buddy Twiss, announcer in charge of special events, and other bowlers. Program Traffic Supervisor Cliff Anderson’s transfer from San Francisco, however, may change the status of things —they say he can really make the pins fall. Special Radio Tour Recently Sydney Dixon, Western Division Sales Manager, conducted a tour of his own around the new Radio City. Included as spectators were Mr. and Mrs. Bert Fisher and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Feltis. Mr. Fisher is general manager of KOMO-KJR, Seattle, and Mr. Feltis is sales manager. Promotion Now that Seward “Bud” Spencer has been transferred from the Guest Relations staff to Traffic, Norman Noyes, supervisor of the pages, has a new assistant— Jim Hartzell. Air Conditioning Engineers Harry C. Alber, air conditioning engineer who designed and supervised the installation of the air conditioning system in Radio City, New York, is in charge of operations of the especially designed plant which controls both temperature and humidity in the new Hollywood studios. Working with Alber is 0. H. Wilkins, air conditioning engineer. Proposed NBC Statue No. 8 and Citation Plaque TELEVISION ENGINEERS As if the capriciousness of broadcasting alone were not enough to blanch the temples of every front office tycoon — we now add insult to injury with the introduction of radio’s step-child — Television. The nightmare of dreamers for centuries, the goal of years of scientific research, the fruit of Midas’ millions of investment, Television demands from its audience the use of practically every human sensation except smell, and on occasional unhappy instances even this sense is indirectly and unintentionally brought into play. Entrenched in Radio City, the Buck Rogers squad, ensnarled in miles of coaxial cable and no gain amplifiers, vie with one another in the creation of new and startling video paroxysms, and consecrating their every effort toward the faultless recreation of Mickey Mouse at your fireside — And so again we dedicate another intimate hunk of masonry, padded and barred on the reverse side, to another worthy group of stalwarts in radio — the Television Engineers of NBC.
