LA B.B.C. No. 3
ICI LONDRES
La B.B.C. parle au monde en cinquante langues, à toutes les heures du jour et de la nuit. Sa voix ne se tait jamais et apporte à tous
nouvelles, renseignements, musique et divertissements, à chacun dans sa langue. Surtout, c'est la voix de la vérité, de l'encouragement, de
l'espoir. Les problèmes techniques qu'entraîne cette immense expansion de la B.B.C. sont énormes; aussi les ingénieurs ont-ils de lourdes
responsabilités. Depuis la guerre, les femmes ont remplacé les hommes pour bon nombre de postes de contrôle et de transmission.
POUR LA VICTOIRE

[Interior of B.B.C. mobile recording truck. Two of the B.B.C.'s high-power transmitters. Women technical assistants in a B.B.C. control
room. British Broadcasting Corporation: No. 3. Britain sends her massage. The B.B.C. talks to the world in nearly fifty languages, at all
hours of the day and night. It is a voice that is never silent, bringing news, information, music and entertainment to all men, in their
own tongues. Above all, it is the voice of truth, of encouragement, and of hope. The technical problems involved in this vast expansion of
the B.B.C. service are enormous and the engineering staff carry heavy responsibilities. During the war women have replaced many men in
control rooms and transmitters. For victory.]
