Maedel Elected Head of RCA Institutes Election of George F. Maedel as President of RCA Institutes, Inc., was announced on March 2 by Brig. General David SarnofI, Chairman of the Board of Radio Corporation of America. Mr. Maedel, Vice President and General Superintendent of RCA's technical school since 1948, succeeds Major General George L. Van Deusen, (USA, Ret.), who retired on March 1. General Van Deusen, Commandant of the Eastern Signal Corps Training Center during World War II, served as head of the Institutes since October, 1947. Mr. Maedel joined RCA Institutes in 19.^.^ as the first instructor of the Mathematics Department. He was transferred to the Radio Frequency Department in 1936 and four years later was appointed Chief Instructor. In 1944, Mr. Maedel became Assistant Superintendent and in 1947 was appointed the Superintendent of the Institutes. During the following year, he was elected Vice President and General Superintendent. A native of Brooklyn, N. Y., Mr. Maedel attended Columbia University where he received an A.B. degree in 1924 and an E.E. degree in 1926. He is a licensed professional engineer in New York State and is the George F. Maede author of two text books on mathematics which are in use at RCA Institutes. Since 1950 Mr. Maedel has served two terms as President of the New York State Association of Private Vocational Schools. He was Vice President of the Asso- ciation from 1945, when it was formed, until his elec- tion as President. Prior to joining RCA Institutes, he was associated with the New York Telephone Company as a Traffic Engineer and served as an instructor in mathematics at the evening classes of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. New Blasr-Proof Microphone A new highly sensitive and directive microphone that is smaller and less obtrusive than existing designs and for that reason well suited to the needs of tele- vision, radio and film studios was described before the recent I. R. E. Convention, in a paper prepared by Dr. Harry F. Olson, John Preston and John C. Bleazey of the David Sarnoff Research Center of Princeton, N. J. The new device is called a uniaxial microphone because it is most sensitive to sounds arriving along the axis of the instrument, the RCA engineers ex- plained. In addition to its improved directional character- istics, this microphone, the engineers stated, incor- porates a blast-proof vibrating system capable of with- standing sound shocks from guns, pistols and small explosions.
