Edited & written by Kesaharu Imai. P2 As we make the transition into the twenty-first century, the Omega Speedmaster, small enough to fit in the palm of the hand, is in itself a time capsule of the twentieth century. P3 Foreword, The setting sun on a late autumn afternoon set scene for a visit from Mr Imai when he came to my office at the Van Nuys airport located in a suburb of Los Angeles. The creaking of the ffont stair5, as he entered the building, was reminicient of the erie awakening cry of a space craft preparing for laumch. I began my first Space Flight aboard Mercury-Atlas 9 thirty-three years ago! In looking back to those days, Mr Imai and I talked enthusiastically about the Omega Speedmaster, which served as a reliable personal tool throughout my mission duration completing 22 5 orbits around the earth! An impression of the universe was beyond my expectation and imagination. As a glimpse of limitdessness followed by an awe-inspiring view of the eatth are indeed indescribable. Being overwhelmed by an unprecedented experience I was not myself for some time till I noted the positive movement of ht e second hand on the Speedmaster, which in fact recorded such data as elapsed flight time and fuel consumption. "The development of science and technology today is undoubtedly the result of human wisdom which I believe stemmed from the passionate but romantic pursuit of scientists and engineers, said Me Imai.

  • RAYMOND E. FEUERSTEIN, SMA ’34 AKA Raymond E
    RAYMOND E. FEUERSTEIN, SMA ’34 AKA Raymond E. Forrest (1916 – 1999) Raymond Feuerstein was born in Germany on January 7, 1916, and came to the United States with his parents. He entered Staunton Military Academy (SMA) as a freshman in the fall of 1930 from Paterson, NJ. Graduating in 1934 as a Lieutenant in B Company, Ray was the Manager of Varsity Baseball, was in the Cotillion Club and Honor Club, and was on the Shrapnel staff. He was a pioneering TV announcer, host and news broadcaster from the very earliest TV era (pre-World War II) through to the 1960s. If Ray is better remembered among New York television viewers for the acclaimed educational program ''Children's Theater,'' that he produced and hosted for WNBC-TV under the name of Raymond E. Forrest, from 1949 to 1960, there is a reason his earlier work has been virtually forgotten. At the time he became the most visible presence on television (1939 to 1941), there were fewer than 1,000 television sets in existence. On April 30, 1939, at the opening of the New York World's Fair when President Franklin D. Roosevelt and David Sarnoff, the president of the Radio Corporation of America, NBC's parent, inaugurated regular television programming with a broadcast over NBC's experimental station, W2XBS, NBC only had radio announcers present. Indeed, for months the television station employed no announcers, recruiting them from NBC Radio staff as the need arose, a process that so irritated the radio network's chief announcer that, by the fall, he persuaded W2XBS to stop pestering him and make one of his six junior radio announcers the full-time TV announcer.

  • "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956"
    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 (Revised) 5 Rare Interior Photos of The International Theater added on page 64 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television history…The Eyes Of A Generation. –Bobby Ellerbee http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 `2 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 Contents Please Note: Converted should be understood as the debut date of the facility as an exclusive TV studio, now equipped with its own control room.
