Re: [ARSCLIST] Scopes Trial Sound Recordings

In one of the pictures on this page:

clearly visible is a WGN microphone. I did not listen to the NPR story, which might well have trial 
audio.

I would recommend tracking down the Rhea County TN historian, and perhaps pinging the state 
historian's office.

Also perhaps the museum of broadcasting in NY.
