D. Max Beard, A. M. Erickson

The Naval Ordnance Laboratory, White Oak, Md., is not only a research and development center for ordnance material, but it has also become a center for the dissemination of scientific information. Technical meetings and symposia of international fame have been held in the auditorium, specifically designed for such meetings, seating 550, with optimum acoustics. Included are a console for control of 21 microphones, telephone communication with the moderator, and controlled levels to sound recording facilities. The projectionist has direct contact with the speaker, the console, the thyra-tron-controlled overhead lights, and preset stage lighting. Complete audiovisual aids are available.
