lol. Your newsreader is at fault, or has been set up with a funny font
association for that valid charset.



oh I was trying to pretend I hadn't seen his reference to Stockhausen
on Radio 3, I find that listening to R3 one tends to get lost in the
music, instead of paying attention to how the system is sounding.
What am I saying? Stockhausen = music?

I enjoyed the Blumlein program, i'd beeen aware of his audio
discoveries but was surprised to hear about the extent of his
contributions to the development of TV and Radar.
What a loss to electronics and Britain his death was, as was that of
Michael Gerzon

The quality of the stereo recordings heard on the program were
excellent for that date, does anyone know on what medium they would
have been recorded? Wax cylinders or optical film is my guess.


Well, consider that Blumleins first work was producing a rival disk
recording system and associated driver electronics.
