    8 THE POLISH TRACE COMPOSED FROM COMMONLY AVAILABLE SOURCES BY LECH POLKOWSKI FOR IJCRS2017 FOREWORD It is a desire of many participants of conferences to learn as much as possible about the history and culture of he visited country and place and organizers try to satisfy this desire by providing excursions into attractive places and sites. IJCRS2017 also tries to take participants to historic sites of Warmia and Mazury and to show elements of local culture. As an innovation, we propose a booklet showing some achievements of Polish scientists and cryptographers, no doubt many of them are known universally, but some probably not. What bounds all personages described here is that they all suffered due to world wars, th efirst and the second. These wars ruined their homes, made them refugees and exiles, destroyed their archives and libraries, they lost many colleagues, friends and students but were lucky enough to save lives and in some cases to begin the career overseas. We begin with the person of Jan Czochralski, world famous metallurgist, discoverer of the technique of producing metal monocrystals `the Czochralski methode’ and inventor of duraluminum and the `bahnalloy’ who started his career and obtained its heights in Germany, later returned to Poland, became a professor at the Warsaw Polytechnical, played an important role in cultural life of Warsaw, lived in Warsaw through the second world war and the Warsaw Uprising of August-September 1944 and after the war was accused of cooperating ith occupying German forces and though judged innocent was literally erased from the public life and any information about him obliterated.

A story by the President of the Institute of National Remembrance appears in the latest instalment of the "We Are Telling the World about Poland" series. This weekend, fifty media outlets around the world are publishing “Polish Innovators Have Changed the World”, another text by Jarosław Szarek in the “We Are Telling the World about Poland” project. This initiative of the New Media Institute is supported by the IPN, Foreign Ministry, National Bank and Polish Press Agency. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia will be told about Poland, but the story is also headed for more exotic places, such as Venezuela, Kuwait or Singapore. This weekend, France will be reading it in the “Special Pologne” insert in the “L’Opinion” daily. President Szarek gives examples of Polish explorers, innovators and inventors, “Poles spurred the development of electronics, chemistry and aviation. They constructed portable mine detectors and broke the German Enigma, accelerating the end of the WW2,” writes the IPN’s President, and adds, In the early 1980s, when the world watched the struggle of Polish “Solidarity” and newspapers carried the name of John Paul II on their front pages, only few people knew that 90% of stainless steel almost everyone used daily, including in their kitchens, was produced through a process developed by the US-based Polish engineer Tadeusz Sendzimir, the “Edison of metallurgy .

    Nagra historical impact! More inspiring Nagra insights. This time a prolonged article by our friend Oleg Netchaev about the Nagra's historical impact... Using cassette width ⅛ th inch tape, the SN were predecessor to the walkman introduced in the late '70s. Designed as a pocket recorder for cinema actors to carry, it was equipped wth a pilot system for studio synchronization. Nagra is the brand name used on professional and high end audio equipment manufactured by Audio Technology Switzerland SA (formerly Nagra Audio). Nagra SNST - stereo, intended more for security service "two microphones to record two different people talking" usage than hi-fi usage due to technical limitations. The Kudelski company was founded in 1951 by Mr. Stefan Kudelski. Born in Warsaw, Poland on February 27th 1929 where he completed his primary schooling. In 1939 the declaration of war in Europe saw the Kudelski family flee to Hungary, then France and finally Switzerland in 1943. In 1951, his prized invention, the “NAGRA” (meaning “will record” in Polish) takes a concrete form: a portable audio tape recorder with exceptional specifications, i.e. light, small, self-contained, portable and high quality. 1 | P a g e In 1952 the first customers, Radio Lausanne and Radio Geneva placed official orders for the NAGRA I. In May 1952, following the first international sound recording contest, some well-known reporters become interested in the NAGRA. Stefan Kudelski then obtains a firm order for six NAGRA 1’s from Radio Luxembourg. Nagra reel to reel tape recorder with the 4 channel nagra mixer.

    years IARC 60 Jahre IWT ans CIMES FICS – Fédération internationale des chasseurs de sons International Federation of Soundhunters Internationale Tonjägerföderation www.soundhunters.com 1 Welcome to Switzerland for the 60th anniversary of the IARC 60 years of recording adventures in sound and pictures Back in 1948, Jean Thévenot appealed to fans of sound recording to host a new show on French radio: “ON GRAVE AT HOME ...” In 1952 the first "SUMMIT" was held – the International Competition for the best Sound Recording – hosted in France and Switzerland by Jean Thévenot and René Monnat. This contest has been held annually ever since. Diaporama was later included and in 1971 the VIDEO category was also added. In 2007 the new MULTIMEDIA category replaced Diaporama. Some "old" friends, for the first time, have kindly agreed to relate some special memories for this book. This year, Germany, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Switzerland and the Czech Re- public participate in the competition, held in a different country each year, and now in Switzerland for the eleventh time. We regret, however, over the years, the withdrawal of countries that formally enriched this competition: Denmark, Austria, Belgium and Italy. Since 1989 we have put the best recordings on CD – 22 CDs totalling 428 tracks – The best of the cate- gories: music, spoken word, sounds of nature, research and interviews. Our English friends seek to col- lect, gradually, all the member country archives and make them available digitalised. In this Diamond Jubilee year we want to congratulate all the participants, winners or not, who have sent their works over the years: they still require a lot of time, imagination, patience, technological research and perseverance ..
