Here is a link to scans I made of an article from the New York Times dated Sunday March 9,1952.

The article is about changes in recording technology over the years and includes photos of two acoustic recording sessions (one with Nellie Melba and one with a small unidentified ensemble) There are also photos of Fritz Reiner and Sir Thomas Beecham recording in the "modern" style, and a sidebar where Reiner talks about the challenges of recording.
Perhaps there are better copies in the NYT archive?

Could someone please advise me if during the
20's and 30's 78 recording
sessions, was the recording equipment
located in the same room as the
musicians? Or, was there a separate
"control room"? I am specifically
interested in the Decca studies, New
York City as I am involved in a film
short project and the music director
maintains the "control room" came
later.
Thank you.
