. AND TO THE PEOPLE !
Carved now in marble in America's most noble memorial, are the immortal words of the Gettysburg Address. Few even among those gathered on the battlefield heard them as they were spoken. Days, weeks, and even months and years were consumed before the speech traveled to all parts of the world. Radio would have winged it to the people instantly.
A Service the Family of RCA Might Have Rendered
THE Family of RCA has kept a good many dates with history. As we shape our plans for presenting all sides of the issues of democracy to the people in this election year, we recall one date with history we wish we could have kept. It was before our time. Just suppose there could have been an NBC microphone before the speakers at Gettysburg! Then the greatest words ever spoken by an American would have received an instantaneous world-wide hearing. Out over the two major National Broadcasting Company networks! Across the world via R.C.A. Communications, the radio message service of the Radio Corporation of America! To ships at sea through the radio services of Radiomarine!
The assembled crowd on the battlefield would hear each word clearly, impressively, thanks to a sound system developed in RCA Laboratories and built
by the RCA Manufacturing Company. Listeners everywhere would hear a lifelike reproduction of the speech on RCA Victor radios. And motion picture audiences would listen to the address recreated by the RCA Photophone Magic Voice of the Screen.
Record lovers would, of course, turn to Victor for a higher fidelity recording of the American masterpiece. And the Gettysburg Address would be relived time and time again on RCA Victrolas.
You may be sure that the members of the Family of RCA will continue to dedicate themselves to their responsibilities to the people. Whatever radio can do will be done to further the cause of government "of the people, by the people, for the people."
