[78-L] World War Two power reduction

[Robert Shirer]

Thank you, David,  for informing us of this resource.  I am afraid that I
was unaware of it.  It is fantastic.  From a record collecting and talking
machine collecting point of view, there are unbelievable riches that had not
been available to me before.   Moreover, the film and radio resources are
quite wonderful.  The site is easy to use and has resources I hadn't known
that I needed.  Great work, and please keep it up.

The Media History Digital Library <http://mediahistoryproject.org/> has
nearly one million pages of pre-1964 magazines online, all full-text
searchable <http://lantern.mediahist.org/>, available for free viewing and
download.

The Library of Congress Packard Campus scanned their run of *Broadcasting*,
which includes an article from November 9, 1942 titled "FCC Places Industry
on Full War
Basis"<http://archive.org/stream/broadcasting23unse#page/n1159/mode/2up>
My
quick search found many references to station transmitter standards during
that period.

We have a growing collection of radio publications in the radio/tv
collection <http://mediahistoryproject.org/broadcasting/>, including Radio
Year Books from 1938 to 1964.
