Evaluated were the performances of eight radio frequency systems by means of a measurement procedure said to be applicable to the evaluation of auditory training systems in classrooms for the aurally handicapped. (DB)

Conventional (linear) amplification supplemented with frequency transposition was compared with conventional amplification alone in teaching speech to 18 severely deaf children. The former was not found to be superior to conventional amplification alone as an aid in articulation training. (Author)

This article is in two parts: discussion of mathematical concepts involved in converting the reading from the tape-recorder counter which counts the turns of the run-off spool to that from the counter which counts turns of the take-up spool; calculating the length of tape run off when given the reading from the tape-recorder counter of the run-off…

Advantages, limitations and special features of cassettes are discussed as they relate to instructional use. (JK)

An inservice training model for successful implementation of FM (Frequency Modulation) transmission systems for hearing impaired students must take into account its purpose and functions, mechanics, and management. (CD)

Discusses the limitations, problems, and inefficiencies with the language lab systems and some of the corrections that should be made to alleviate these problems. The problem is generally in the area of monitoring of more than one student at the same time and of correcting students. (PJM)
