👍 Tech back in those days was much more hands on. Seeing the complexity of all the huge control panels and switch boards is amazing. It's now considered primitive, but was cutting edge stuff during the period.
As late as 1961 me and my late mother went to Woolworth's Department store in Flushing, Queens, NYC wher she bought a 1961 General Electric AM band radio. That plus our 1960 TV set was as modern as we got including a wall dial telephone. I still remember the ventilation holes of the cardboard back of the radio and seeing the vacuum tubes glowing orange. In Old America in Old NYC my hometown when both were a great country and a great city! 😊
After the war, Grandpa learned Radio & Television repair on the GI Bill. It was more of a sideline for him as Solid State electronics and cheap transistors made tubes obsolete.
Ironically, I learned tube theory in the late nineties because we still used it on the most current Navy aircraft. The last of the vacuum tubes in my aircraft were finally removed about 10 years ago.
Military snapped up these smart young lads soon enough. Came back and opened TV/radio repair shops. Went to your house. Finally not worth fixing and that's that. End of an era.
Fantastic careers way back then. I presume one who did such communication technology back in the 30's through the 1970's was consider a highly intelligent person. The equipment developed and used was quite fantastic! I wonder...the "kids" of the last 30 or so years who wanted to major in media communication would for a large group of them would not pass the old fashion technology used in most of the last century because...it's not a laptop notebook cell phone easy technology that one can just plane sit down in their p.j.s or "WalMart look very casual" and do...cause it takes physical and mental effort.
There was quite a lot of sexism back in the day. Like people who were on the production line, only men can get a better job. Tbh you could say the same today but there's nothing holding women back. Different people have different job roles and those people pick the different types of jobs and trade's. But that all depends if there are jobs available.
I really like the information and the nostalgia of days gone by, however watching or rather listening to it makes me think that this is a surefire cure for insomnia. There's just something about the commentator's droning voice that makes me sleepy.
Interesting window into the sexism of the time.
I remember going to Radio Shack with dad and using their tube tester. Dad was a pretty good all around hand.

Quite fascinating to view these great films! Thanks for your channel!
So bizarre that the idea that it’s just men that would go to school and get a job
I love the montage sounds everytime I turn ON to Periscope channel. Mind sharing me the tittle of the song?
Fantastic stuff!!
He built his own radio station!

How will he ever be able to keep up with such amazing technology? Whoops! Gotta go. Left the horse n buggy running...
Sadly, this progress will eventually result in the existence of "morning zoo" DJs and Art Bell's career.
5:46 "Morris Code"?!?

Anyone else notice the name of the presenter? Can't believe he got away with that.
