We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
INTRODUCTION
By THE EDITOR
FOREWORD As a vast, dynamic, compelling industry, radio plays an important part, every day, in the lives of us all. Some prefer to call it an art. Whether art or industry, its place in the sun has long since been firmly established. Alert personalities, representing the extreme swing of the mental pendulum, yet all working in a perfect harmony of precision, form the spokes of the great radio wheel. The effervescent artist, the dreaming script writer, the practical advertising man and station rep, and the highly specialized engineer, each play their mighty parts in the daily drama of the mike.
