sizes, each with its own colour scheme, and acoustically designed to provide
the best possible sound reproduction. Centre of all broadcasting operations
is the Master Control Room and this control board handles five transmitters,
eight outgoing networks, seven incoming networks and 29 studios. Announce-
ments in several different languages can be combined with the same musical
program and recorded for distribution abroad. Though complicated, this
control board is compact, and can be operated by one man alone.

“cut’’ (that is, record) the same program simultaneously.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation regards this new building as an
instrument, embodying as it does all the technicological advances of the science
of broadcasting, with which to promote the interests of nationhood within
Canada and the Canadian nation’s interest in peace and justice in the distant
countries of the world.
