Hi,

I'm trying to do some research work in Speech Recognition.

In audio work SR is the acknowledged acronym for *SOUND REINFORCEMENT*.

Please do NOT use it to mean something else.


It is also the accepted abbreviation for Dolby Spectral Recording

Yes indeed. Sodium Ricinoleate - tingling fresh.
The SR advert was the first commercial shown on British
TV (not a lot of people know that:-.)

ISTR a Panorama showing what we had to look forward to when ITV started -
and that included sample adverts. ;-)

But Gibbs SR was indeed the first ad shown by ITV.

Not that I saw it - Grampian TV didn't start up until the '60s.

It seems that there were more than 20 contenders, and the lucky
winner (for the first ad to be shown) was drawn from a hat.

My life! What are you implying?

The rest of the commercials were shown soon after, and
IIRC the viewers (answers on a postcard please)
thought the Guinness ad was the best of all.

And the little girl in the test card was the daughter of my next door
neighbour, who was a BBC sound engineer. Don't know why I mentioned that.

George Hersee. More to the point he was the chairman of the committee that
designed test-card F, the first one to have Carole's picture in it. George
had previously worked on test-cards D and E (the ones with sinusoidal,
rather than square-wave, frequency gratings).
