The Talking Book

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Captain Sir IAN FRASER , C.B.E., M.P. After years of research, a Sound Recording Committee, representing the National Institute for the Blind and St. Dunstan's, is now producing complete books on gramophone records.
This evening Sir Ian Fraser , the blind M.P., will explain and demonstrate this new development in blind welfare work. A library of talking books is being formed which will circulate records free for blind people, and a slow-running gramophone has been produced at a price low enough to bring it within the reach of a large number. The scheme has been made possible by a number of authors allowing their books to be recorded free of copyright, and by a donation of £5,000 from Lord Nuffield.
