UP IN THE MORNING EARLY
UNSUNG heroes of radio are the technicians, without whose cooperation and skill the finest programmes would be an irritating unco-ordinated jumble. In Commercial broadcasting they maintain that a special medal should be struck to commemorate the fortitude of the early morning control room technician, who must be on the job at-hold your breath-five-thirty o'clock in the morning to get the equipment running and in good order for 18 hours of continuous transmission during the day. On this and the next page are some pictures taken during a _ typical morning in the life of Bill Flood, one of Station 3ZB’s "early bird’ technicians. Mr. Flood is an important member of 3ZB’s staff; his work calls for a wide technical knowledge and intensive study of the complicated science that is radio engineering. There are Bill Floods doing similar early morning duty at other stations.
