Hi,
I have a question about the 1928 production of The Queen's Messenger by W2XB in Schenectady NY.
The photograph I've attached shows a technician working a flying spot scanner. He's in a number of other photos as well as a public information film GE made at the time. My question is, why is he wearing headphones? The director was in the same room about eight feet away, and did his own switching, checking the picture in a GE Octagon receiver. Contemporary accounts don't mention any other production people or duplicate monitors, so who would be giving him instructions?
Any guesses?
