Invitation to Learning 440904

Just in case you missed it in all the holiday happenings, please read our latest project news.

This was a Columbia network show that discussed at length, and extemporaneously, “literary works that have stood the test of time.”

In this episode the topic is “The Jewish War” by Flavius Josephus, written in the first century of the common era.  On hand to analyze the work are, from the University of Chicago, chairman Richard P. McKeon and panelists  Dr. Ralph Marcus and Dr. Ernest C. Caldwell.

I can’t find any source that has this episode in its collection, or even a vendor that has this any episodes for sale, so it is quite a rare show you are getting.

This might be something of a first, for you, but for us here it was a first in several ways.  This is that this is the first time we’ve had to transfer a recording where the tonearm traveled from the inside of the disc to the outside.    Also, we’ve never before worked with a disc with a “fiber” base (the “core” upon which the acetate was lain then cut).
