General notes

"The Bishop of Lancaster takes a look at the BBC recording car in which engineer George Donovan sits making the discs which will enable the story of Lancaster to be sent to the USA."
From a single request originating from station WTAG, Worcester, Massachusetts., has grown a long series of town to town broadcasts in the North Amercian service of the BBC. The most recent programme was made in Lancaster, England for Lancaster, Massachusetts by Stephen Eckhard, Amercian-born producer of the BBC. The programme was broad cast in non-advertising time.
