‎ALLAN JOHN MELVIN TELEVISION SCRIPT COLLECTION‎

‎A collection of nearly 150 shooting scripts used by character actor Allan John Melvin 1923-2008 who appeared in hundreds of television episodes from the 1950s to the early '90s often in recurring roles on various series. He is best known for his recurring role as Alice's boyfriend Sam the Butcher on The Brady Bunch and as Archie Bunker's friend Barney Hefner on both All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place. Melvin also portrayed various characters on The Andy Griffith Show real estate salesman Pete Dudley in My Favorite Martian Corporal Henshaw on The Phil Silvers Show and Sergeant Hacker on Gomer Pyle.<br/><br/>Born in Kansas City Missouri he attended Columbia University and did some stage work before he broke into television with the role of Corporal Steve Henshaw on the popular The Phil Silvers Show program. "He was proudest of that show. I think the camaraderie of all those guys made it such a pleasant way to work. They were so relaxed" his wife Amalia told the Associated Press in 2008.<br/><br/>Melvin had a long and prosperous acting career but was often cast in the role of slightly loud and abrasive but friendly supporting characters and occasionally as the tough guy. In addition to television he did voice over work providing the voices of cartoon characters such as Magilla Gorilla. Some of his most prolific work was in television commercials for products as diverse as Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes and Remington electric razors. Among the scripts in this collection are five for The Brady Bunch including an episode which features Sam helping Alice solve the Brady family's high telephone bill problem with the addition of a pay telephone like the one in his butcher shop.<br/><br/>The bulk of the scripts in this collection are for the popular television series All in the Family 1971-1979 and its reprisal Archie Bunker's Place 1979-1983. In both series Melvin played Barney Hefner Archie Bunker's neighbor and best friend. According to Smithsonian Magazine the top-rated sitcom represented "a turning point for its engagement with topical controversial themes such as race relations homosexuality and feminism - an effort to reach baby boomer audiences - and for representing the kind of ordinary working people who had thus far been invisible on screen." Among the scripts in this collection is the episode for "The Family Next Door" with Archie Bunker being forced to let go of old prejudices when he learns his wife Edith rented out the house next door to a black family. For an episode entitled "Archie's Dog Day Afternoon" five copies of the script are present from the table draft to the final draft showing the process of television writing. A spring binder imprinted with Melvin's name and Archie's Bunker's Place contains a confidential cast and crew list with addresses and telephone numbers.<br/><br/>The collection also includes copies of scripts Melvin considered and roles he lost. Among them is the March 1965 copy of the script for the stage production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. There are pencil markings around the lines for the character Speed the gruff and sarcastic poker buddy which was ultimately played by Paul Dooley.<br/><br/>All of the scripts are three-hole punched. With the exception of the All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place scripts most are bound with brads. The collection also includes more than 1000 pages of multicolor script pages for episodes of Archie Bunker's Place likely script changes which have not been paired with their scripts. Overall the material is in very good condition. The collection is housed in five standard file boxes. A detailed Excel spreadsheet listing each of the scripts is available upon request. unknown books‎

‎Bell Telephone Company: Maynard George C.‎

‎EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF SERVICE REPORTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS BOTH PRINTED AND MANUSCRIPT FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY‎

‎Washington & Boston 1882. Approximately 150 documents comprising 250pp. plus one CARTE DE VISITE. Mostly quarto and octavo sheets. Some light wear. Near fine. A remarkable archive of service reports and other documents related to the Bell Telephone Company from the papers of George C. Maynard 1839-1918 related to his time as the Washington D.C. agent for Bell Telephone Company. The archive contains service reports estimates lease agreements telephone line diagrams and business reports and other ephemera. A handbill advertising Maynard's services dated April 28 1881 reads: "Geo. C. Maynard Electrician Agent American Bell Telephone Co. for everything except the Telephonic Exchange business 1413 G Street. Telephones and telegraph lines constructed equipped and leased. Electrical work of all description attended to." A quote by Theodore N. Vail General Manager for the company reads: "'Geo. C. Maynard is the only person authorized by us to supply telephone lines for Private Lines Club Lines and Speaking Tube Lines within the District of Columbia.'" <br> <br> Alexander Graham Bell is considered to be the father of the telephone and was the first to be granted a patent for a device that electronically transmitted vocal or other sounds telegraphically. Thomas Edison and Elisha Gray among others were also experimenting with similar technology at the same time. Bell registered his patent on February 14 1876 the same day as Elisha Gray who submitted a patent for a similar device mere hours apart. Bell was granted the patent no. 174465. After significant experimentation on March 10 1876 Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson succeeded in transmitting clear vocalization across the lines. Sitting in his laboratory with Watson on the other end of a line in the basement Bell said "Watson come here! I want to see you!" and Watson replied thus successfully transmitting and receiving voice transmissions. The Bell Telephone Company was founded in July 1877 and the first commercial telephone exchange opened in New Haven Connecticut in January 1878. This archive then contains extraordinarily early material relating to the operation and installation of the telephone system and the second urban network in the country although the Washington exchange quickly surpassed the small New Haven operation in size and sophistication. <br> <br> The bulk of the archive contains 137 service reports and estimates for the installation of telephones in and around Washington D.C. and includes prices for pole wire house-top wire length of line cable conductors the rent of the phone and bells office wires labor etc. connecting residential commercial and government establishments such as railroad depots stables newspaper offices et al. One such estimate for Commissioner of Agriculture William LeDuc dated February 1 1878 is for the running of a telephone line connecting the Department of Agriculture with ".Dept No. 3." via the White House and State Department. Other documents of note include two telephone line diagrams: the first in pencil shows a private line connecting a residential dwelling to the army signal office via a church and the Corcoran Gallery and completely circumventing the White House and the Treasury Department. The second diagram in pen shows the connection of Washington Bell agent George C. Maynard's private line connecting his home and his office via seven connections including a congregational church and the orphan asylum. A printed proclamation by Bell Telephone General Manager Theodore N. Vail concerns the infringement of rival phones. Dated at Boston May 23 1879 this three-page address to the public claims that ".under patents granted to Alexander Graham Bell." Bell Telephone ".claims the exclusive right to use or to license others to use speaking telephones.Suits are pending.in which the claims of the owners of the Bell patents and the owners of the inventions of Gray Edison Dolbear and others will be legally determined." Vail presents a short history of the invention of the telephone and "Proof of Prof. Bell's Priority." <br> <br> Of significant note is a cache of reports relating to the installation of Alexander Graham Bell's personal telephone line. This material consists of sixteen service reports dated January 10 1881 to December 31 1882 for the installation of telephone wires putting up telephones in his house extending his line from his residence at 1302 Connecticut Avenue to 2023 Massachusetts Avenue connecting his home line to his laboratory looping his private line to Bell Telephone Company President also his father- in-law Gardiner G. Hubbard's house etc. Each report contains information on the work done and by whom what materials were used in the process and the condition of the work when the technician left. Also included is a manuscript diagram in pen showing the extension of Alexander Graham Bell's personal telephone line to Georgetown. A report accompanying the diagram written by W.H. Newhall who has examined the personal line of Alexander Graham Bell at four points his laboratory Massachusetts Avenue Georgetown and Connecticut Avenue reports that he has ".Examined line and found it in good order. Examined Bells & Tels. at all places cleaned & renewed 3 Batteries.brought in Bell from Laboratory sic.and put up one from Conn Ave house. The bell at Mass Ave rings weak there when you call from there but rings strong when called from other stations. Brought in Tels from Conn Ave house and closed line on roof." In addition this segment of the archive contains three handwritten reports detailing the route the telephone line follows and each of the connection points with three invoices of materials and their cost used in the project. <br> <br> A wonderful archive of material relating to the early development of the telephone system in Washington D.C. unknown books‎

Tall 8vo 8¾" x 4" pp. xi 1 54 2; original printed brown wrappers; light chipping of the wrappers and spine worn and cracked; slight abrasion on the back wrapper obscuring a line of text but the sense remains clear; otherwise very good. Greg Sargeant on Dennis Markham's website ClassicRotaryPhones provides the following information on the Providence Telephone Company "which was formed out of the consolidation of two smaller interests one Bell and one Western Union." The Bell concern was the Providence Telephone Exchange Company. They issued a directory of subscribers on October 29 1879 in which they announced a new office in the Brownell Bldg. In 1880 they published an Official Directory of the Providence Telephone Exchange Company. The Western Union concern was the Providence District Telephone Company. In 1879 they issued a Prospectus and had offices on the 3rd floor of the Butler Exchange Building. In 1880 the company was chartered by an act of the General Assembly in association with the Western Union/Edison interests. Thus these two individual companies were consolidated as the Providence Telephone Company in 1880. On January 1 1881 they published this List of Subscribers. It is unnumbered and there is no indication that another List preceded it. On January 1 1882 Directory No. 3 as here was published. And by 1885 Directory no. 9 was published so these were not published annually. Includes a few words to subscribers directions for using the telephone terms of rental line rates telegraph rates interstate calls and a list of customers in the Providence Nayatt Pawtucket Woonsocket Bristol Warren Pascoag East Greenwich Attleboro and North Attleboro exchanges.

Archive of Q-Code Cards: "I AM IN RECEIPT OF YOUR MESSAGE"<br/><br/>A large and colorful archive of amateur radio QSL cards used to confirm two-way radio communication apparently all issued at the height of the colorful QSL trend of the 1970s. The cards hail from far and wide in both the United States and Canada--we note examples from Maine Indiana Wisconsin Vermont Washington state Ohio Kentucky Tennessee Oregon Texas Colorado Minnesota New Jersey Idaho Delaware California Virginia and Massachusetts as well as Ontario Quebec and Saskatchewan. While early QSL cards were fairly unimaginative these almost all exude the operator's personality and interests including religious patriotic raunchy fortune telling and military.<br/><br/>"CB radio enthusiasts often exchanged colorful QSL cards especially during the height of CB's popularity in the 1970s. CB radio operators who met while on the air would typically swap personalized QSL cards which featured their names "handles" and CB callsigns. A simple card format might only include the users callsign and/or "handle" home location and note the date and time of a CB radio contact. More elaborate cards featured caricatures cartoons slogans and jokes sometimes of a ribald nature. As the CB radio fad grew in the U.S. and Canada a number of artists specializing in artwork for CB QSL cards emerged who were identified by nicknames such as "Alley Cat" "Sundown" "Booking Agent" "Squeaky" "The Viking" "Moonglow" and "Brushstroke".

‎A Collection of Thirty-Four Photographs Relating to the First Broadcasts of NBC Television c. 1937-1940‎

‎New York: RCA Corporation 1940. Very Good. In the late 1930s television was in its experimental phase and radio dominated the American media landscape. RCA and its NBC network directed experimental broadcasts from their studio in Radio City broadcasting from a transmitter at the top of the Empire State Building. The first large scale exposure the American public had to the new technology was at the 1939 World's Fair. NBC and its parent company RCA initiated a schedule of programming the same year to coincide with the exhibition. The onset of war the expense of the new machines and the limited geographic range of the broadcast limited the amount of television consumers until after the war. <br /> <br /> RCA's involvement in the development of television began in 1929 when the inventor Vladimir Zworykin convinced RCA's David Sarnoff to produce a commercial version of his prototype system. Sarnoff and RCA would eventually invest millions of dollars in the project. The present collection shows this development at the tail end when the technology was near completion and RCA had begun to promote the new technology in earnest. The first broadcasts were on W2XBS which would later become WNBC Channel 4 broadcasting from the Empire State Building transmitter at the top of the building. RCA began selling its TRK-5 and TRK-9 model televisions at the same point but the onset of the war and FCC involvement prevented the mass rollout the company had imagined. <br /> <br /> Of the thirty-six images here thirty are from the NBC archives mounted on linen and most with large labels to versos explaining the pictures. Many are credited to NBC staff photographer William Haussler. The NBC photographers tried to capitalize on the look of the modern era with the photos and the labels direct the conversation as such. One reads: "Modern Art / If this picture appears to be an example of ultra modern photography there is good reason. It has to do with television most modern of the arts." The photos show the facilities at Radio City and the Empire State Building. The new technology is on full display with the Iconoscope Camera shown in one image and various transmitters microphones and other pieces of equipment shown in others. One image at the Radio City studios shows Lanny Ross another shows the composer Walter Damrosch seated at a piano. The last few photographs - these without the internal NBC markings - show the first series of broadcasts from afar some showing the United Airlines-equipped Research ship in its journey over Manhattan another showing the Billy Soose boxing match of 1941 in Madison Square Garden. Another image printed in the 1950s shows the first ever NBC telecast in 1930 a single close-up of a Felix the Cat doll. <br /> <br /> A scarce collection and significant documentation of the early television age in America. We find no record of these images in the Getty NBC-Universal archive. Photographs generally well preserved in very good condition with some stray marks on versos overall quite well preserved.
