Letter from Thomas Green, WDCR at Dartmouth College, to Robert Oppenheimer, Princeton University, thanking him for permission to broadcast his lecture, and giving technical details of the recording.
WDCR At Dartmouth College
Hanover, New Hampshire
April 15, 1959
Dear Dr. Oppenheimer:
On behalf of the entire staff of the radio station WDCR,
I would like to offer my sincere thanks for your coopera-
tion in permitting us to rebroadcast your address
delivered at Dartmouth College last Tuesday evening.
When a famous personality visits Hanover, we
feel honored to convey his message to our listening
audience, who, I might add, showed particular interest
in your address.
To turn to more technical matters, let me inform
you that your speech was recorded on three reels of
single track tape. Only one track was used to insure
the fidelity. The tapes were recorded at a speed of
seven and one-half inches per second, and they should
deliver excellent reproduction.
It is our hope here at WDCR that when in the future
the tapes are played, they will recall pleasant memories
of your visit to Dartmouth College.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas C. Green
Director of Special Events
