I have some questions for Dr. Biel:

The original Pallophotophone was acoustic.  Were some of these WGY films
made electrically by a newer type of Pallophotophone?  Were the B.A. Rolfe
recordings made off the NBC line?

Are the recordings that WGY played on their tenth anniversary among these
newly discovered films?  At least some of those were acoustic--of Warren
Harding and Calvin Coolidge--correct?

Is there any chance the world (by which I mean ME) will soon get to hear the
B.A. Rolfe broadcasts?
