    Museum of American Finance AUDIO GUIDE TOUR 1 48 Wall Street/Murals The largest object on display at the Museum of American Finance isn’t the bull and bear statue or the statue of Alexander Hamilton. You’re actually standing INSIDE the largest object! In 1797 Alexander Hamilton’s Bank of New York laid the cornerstone for its first building right here at 48 Wall Street. You can see the cornerstone outside where William Street meets Wall Street. Hamilton founded the Bank in 1784 not long after the last of the British troops left American soil for good. The current building is the third Bank of New York headquarters on this site. It opened in 1929 and was active until the Bank acquired the Irving Trust Company and moved into its towering art deco skyscraper at 1 Wall Street in 1988. Like many bank buildings from this era, the architect Benjamin Wistar Morris designed the Grand Mezzanine to convey a sense of strength and power, both in its size and its extensive use of marble and limestone. These materials invoke a sense of security, making the building look like a solid fortress, protecting clients’ money at all costs. Remember, FDIC insurance didn’t come along until 1933. If you look up at the north and east walls of the Grand Mezzanine, you’ll see eight murals painted by J. Monroe Hewlett, an accomplished turn-of-the-century muralist. Alexander Hamilton is front and center in the murals on the north side. These depict scenes from the Bank of New York’s history.

    TELEVISUAL CULTURE Roberts Visions of Electric Media Ivy Roberts Visions of Electric Media Television in the Victorian and Machine Ages Visions of Electric Media Televisual Culture Televisual culture encompasses and crosses all aspects of television – past, current and future – from its experiential dimensions to its aesthetic strategies, from its technological developments to its crossmedial extensions. The ‘televisual’ names a condition of transformation that is altering the coordinates through which we understand, theorize, intervene, and challenge contemporary media culture. Shifts in production practices, consumption circuits, technologies of distribution and access, and the aesthetic qualities of televisual texts foreground the dynamic place of television in the contemporary media landscape. They demand that we revisit concepts such as liveness, media event, audiences and broadcasting, but also that we theorize new concepts to meet the rapidly changing conditions of the televisual. The series aims at seriously analyzing both the contemporary specificity of the televisual and the challenges uncovered by new developments in technology and theory in an age in which digitization and convergence are redrawing the boundaries of media.

  • TAPE READING and MARKET TACTICS the Three Steps to Successful Stock Trading
    TAPE READING AND MARKET TACTICS The Three Steps to Successful Stock Trading By HUMPHREY B. NEILL B. C. FORBES PUBLISHING COMPANY New York, 1931 I dedicate this book to my losses, with a deep appreciation for the experi- ence and knowledge which each loss has brought me. PREFACE (February, 1931) IN the making of this book, the tail literally has wagged the dog. The original plan was to col- lect in bound form a number of editorials written and published in a little magazine called if, As and When. As I set about coordinating and edit- ing these various manuscripts, the thought pre- sented itself that every speculator has three steps to climb before he can expect consistent market success. These are: first, familiarizing himself with the power and the methods of the professional specu- lative groups which operate "behind the tick- ers "; second, learning the principles whereby he may interpret the maneuvers of those groups and the actions of the public; and third — and most important—attaining a mastery of himself: of his temperament, emotions, and the other vari- ables that go to make up human nature. In conference with the publishers, it was then —V— PREFACE PREFACE decided to make the main portion of this book can learn in a comparatively short time to tell from a treatise on the interpretation of the ticker tape, the tape what is likely to happen. inasmuch as there have been any number of in- Right here, however, I should like to inject my quiries about, and requests for, instruction in tape personal opinion, that anyone who attempts to reading and market tactics.

DESCRIPTORS *Critical Thinking; Curriculum Enrichment; *Films; *History Instruction; Secondary Education; Social Studies; *Television; Television Viewing; Videotape Recordings; *Visual Literacy IDENTIFIERS Film Aesthetics; *Film History; *Film Theory ABSTRACT History teachers should be less concerned with having students try to re-experience the past and more concerned with teaching them how to learn from the study of it. Keeping this in mind, teachers should integrate more critical film and television analysis into their history classes, but not in place of reading or at the expense of traditional approaches. Teachers must show students how to engage, rather than suspend, their critical faculties when the projector or television monitor is turned on. The first major section of this book, "Analyzing a Moving Image as a Historical Document," discusses the two stages in the analysis of a moving image document: (1) a general analysis of content, production, and reception; and (2) the study of the moving image document as a representation of history, as evidence for social and cultural history, as evidence for historical fact, or as evidence for the history of film and television.

    Sound Evidence: An Archaeology of Audio Recording and Surveillance in Popular Film and Media by Dimitrios Pavlounis A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Screen Arts and Cultures) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sheila C. Murphy, Chair Emeritus Professor Richard Abel Professor Lisa Ann Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar Professor Gerald Patrick Scannell © Dimitrios Pavlounis 2016 For My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My introduction to media studies took place over ten years ago at McGill University where Ned Schantz, Derek Nystrom, and Alanna Thain taught me to see the world differently. Their passionate teaching drew me to the discipline, and their continued generosity and support made me want to pursue graduate studies. I am also grateful to Kavi Abraham, Asif Yusuf, Chris Martin, Mike Shortt, Karishma Lall, Amanda Tripp, Islay Campbell, and Lees Nickerson for all of the good times we had then and have had since. Thanks also to my cousins Tasi and Joe for keeping me fed and laughing in Montreal. At the University of Toronto, my entire M.A. cohort created a sense of community that I have tried to bring with me to Michigan. Learning to be a graduate student shouldn’t have been so much fun. I am especially thankful to Rob King, Nic Sammond, and Corinn Columpar for being exemplary scholars and teachers. Never have I learned so much in a year. To give everyone at the University of Michigan who contributed in a meaningful way to the production of this dissertation proper acknowledgment would mean to write another dissertation-length document.

  • Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931)
    1 THOMAS ALVA EDISON (1847 – 1931) About the man, his live, work, businesses, products and achievements Introduction A lot of books were published about Thomas Edison and the internet is full with articles about him (a simple Google search 'Thomas Edison' provides 65,000,000 responses…). What can I add to this? Well, it is noteworthy that in the literature about Edison there is very little talk about telegraphy (this is also the case with Lars Ericsson). The scope of this article is by definition focused on the domain of telegraphy, so I can shine here some light on this aspect. My main source is the fantastic book: THE PAPERS OF THOMAS A. EDISON, Volume 1, from 1989 (see my reference [1]). And my second source is the Wikipedia article that you can find via [2]. The book, the first part of a series of seven, deals with the period from his birth to 1873. I bought that part at the time because it goes very deeply (about 700 pages) into the period in which Edison focused almost exclusively on telegraphy. Of Edison’s telegraphs only one model is well known to collectors: the Universal Stock Printer (from 1873). The much later Self Winding Stock Ticker (from 1902) although very often attributed to Thomas Edison, is not at all one of his design. I am explaining this in detail in chapter 2.4.1. In PART 2 I will show, via a number of illustrations and comments, some of those that once were in my collection. But below I will also briefly mention the various other telegraph receivers and related apparatus that he has designed and commercialized, but of which, to my knowledge, only a few are in the possession of collectors.

  • Teacher Background
    Teacher Background Inquiry Description Although electricity generated excitement, and although electrical companies worked hard to gain a domestic market for the power, its use spread slowly, suggesting consumer resistance linked to cost, availability, and alternatives. Electricity first entered homes as batteries for fire and burglar alarms; and potential customers learned that electric lights would neither asphyxiated people nor set the house afire with an exposed flame. By the early twentieth century, electricity played an ever-increasing and complex role in everyday life in western society as consumers gradually became more dependent on it as a source of energy for light, heat, and power. On the eve of the Second World War nearly 80 percent of the residential dwellings in the United States had electricity as their primary form of illumination. However, more than 20 percent continued to rely on either kerosene or gasoline lighting and almost one percent still used gas lighting. The gap between those using electric lighting in urban and rural America was much wider. According to the 1940 U.S. Census, almost all residents of urban communities and metropolitan districts had electric lighting in their homes and rural-nonfarm dwellings hovered around the national average. However, nearly two-thirds of rural farm dwellings continued to rely on kerosene or gasoline illumination. Indeed, the adoption of new technology is seldom a linear and complete process, but more and more people were accustomed to seeing and using electricity by mid- century. However, In the first decade of the twentieth century, depending on locale, construction, availability, and personal finances, a wide-variety of lighting sources might be found in use, including: candles; kerosene; gasoline; coal or water gas; incandescent coal or water gas with mantles; electric arc light; incandescent electric light; and acetylene gas lighting.

  • Ticker Tape (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Ticker Tape (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY Ticker tape was the earliest digital electronic communications medium, transmitting stock price information over telegraph lines, in use between around 1870 through 1970. It consisted of a paper strip that ran through a machine called a stock ticker, which printed abbreviated company names as alphabetic symbols followed by numeric stock transaction price and volume information. The term "ticker" came from the sound made by the machine as it printed. Paper ticker tape became obsolete in the 1960s, as television and computers were increasingly used to transmit financial information. The concept of the stock ticker lives on, however, in the scrolling electronic tickers seen on brokerage walls and on news and financial television channels. Ticker tape stock price telegraphs were invented in 1867 by Edward A. Calahan, an employee of the American Telegraph Company. HISTORY Although telegraphic printing systems were first invented by Royal Earl House in 1846, early models were fragile, required hand-cranked power, frequently went out of synchronization between sender and receiver, and did not become popular in widespread commercial use. David E. Hughes improved the printing telegraph design with clockwork weight power in 1856, and his design was further improved and became viable for commercial use when George M. Phelps devised a resynchronization system in 1858. The first stock price ticker system using a telegraphic printer was invented by Edward A. Calahan in 1863; he unveiled his device in New York City on November 15, 1867. Edward Calahan (1838–1912) was an American inventor, credited with invention of a ticker tape, gold and stock tickers, multiplex telegraph system.
