Mutoscope Has Music
LONG ISLAND, N. Y.-International
Mutoscope Corporation, the home of the
famous Photomatic aTld countless Arcade
machines, is now engaged entirely in war
work and the Mutos~opers work around the
clock to the strains of Bach, Beethoven,
Brahms and Liszt over the firm's new
music and announcement system.
In announcing the installation of the
p. a. system President William Rabkin
stated that its principal purpose is making
music available to those departments that
will benefit from it. Records and radio
programs that have been found beneficial
by scientists and industrial specialists will
be broadcast. It has been found that cer-
tain types of music are ideal for workers
doing what is described as slow precision
work. The selections ideal for this type of
work are a detriment rather than a help to
workers on a production line. And so the
Mutoscope music will be carefully selected
a'1d "piped" into various departments
where it will do the most good.
The p. a. system consists of six stations
---{Jne for every floor and two for the first
floor covering the office and M9 Assembly
Room.
Disc Quotas Improve
NEW YORK-The Chemical Division
of the War Production Board has issued an
order permitting the release of more shel-
lac to manufacturers of phonograph rec-
ords.
The order states that for the first quarter
of 1944 the manufacturers shall be permit·
ted to use 100 per cent of the quota they
consumed in 1941. For the balance of the
year no ruling has been released but it is
presumed that an equal amo1,lnt will be
avai lable, or a minimum reduction of 10
per cent be made.
This new release of shellac means that
disc makers will be using about 50 per cent
more shellac in th e first three months of
this year than they used in the last three
months of 1943.
