LECTURES TO BE RECORDED

Inaugurating an experiment in mechanical instruction, the lectures in Geography 36, the new course in aerial photography, will be recorded for future use on slow-process phonographic records. Both the regular lectures and the four public ones to be given by Army officers, will be recorded. Already, in cooperation with the Department of Naval Science, the apparatus to be used in the recording has been tested in Naval Science 3.

With the aid of F. C. Packard '20, assistant professor of Public Speaking, T. S. McCaleb, instructor in Field Communication, who is in charge of the equipment to be used in the next expedition of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, is arranging the details of the installation of the recording outfit, which has one feature different from the usual broadcasting station. The amplification has been stepped up so that the speaker need not bother to speak directly into the microphone.
