Excerpt from Big Business and Radio The author has been especially fortunate in the splendid cooperation that he has enjoyed during the preparation of the text of this volume. He has been aided not only by those who assisted him with data for the first volume in this series, History of Radio to 1926 - but also by many other individuals now or formerly connected with the great industry that forms the subject matter of this text. To David Sarnoff, president of the Radio Corporation of America, is no doubt due chief credit for the widespread assistance previously mentioned. The natural reluctance of leaders of great industrial enterprises to open their files to any historian, however well intentioned, is a fact to be reckoned with. Busy officials, moreover, have little time for conferences concerning past events, yet the author bears grateful testimony to the fact that all down the line, radio officials, high and low, have rendered most courteous and prompt assistance. Lewis MacConnach, secretary both to the Radio Corporation of America and the National Broadcasting Company, has naturally encountered somewhat more than the traditional lion's share of requests for information. To his credit be it recorded that, however engrossed by the duties of his busy office he may have been at the time, he has nevertheless invariably responded promptly and fully to all such requests. Elmer E. Bucher has rendered invaluable assistance in locating source material. George H. Clark, of RCA, has also been most helpful. Mark J. Woods, treasurer of the National Broadcasting Company, and O. B. Hanson, vice-president of the same organization, have each aided the author greatly. At the General Electric Company, Miss Lillian V. Morrison and Miss Gertrude Chandler in the office of Owen D. Young have supplied extremely helpful data. Miss Frances Sprague, librarian of the general library of the National Broadcasting Company, and Miss Doris Crooker, librarian of another department of the same corporation, have each rendered highly appreciated aid in locating source material. At the Columbia Broadcasting System all officials from President Paley down have responded generously and graciously. At the offices of the Mutual Network the same spirit of helpfulness has been displayed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
