Description

Poor quality Oval Office recording from office of President Harry S. Truman. This is from Memovac disc 200X. These recordings are believed to be from 1945 to 1948, but the reel-to-reel tapes indicate September 21, 1946 to October 22, 1947 as the dates. According to the technical notes on this disc, this recording consists entirely of technicians setting up and testing the recording system. The segment in the first ten minutes implies that the telephone transmitter may have been used as input for this system.
