Radio related newsreels
in the
MAFIRT and in the Hungarian World News from 1926
The Hungarian National Film Archives (NAVA) preserved a lot of newreels concerning radios. Hereby can be found some issues picked and chosen for your interest.
The First Zala County Radio Museum Foundation ordered from this list the seemingly most interesting news spots, altogether 22 newsreels from 1926 until the 1960s. The last broadcast should have been the news regarding the printed circuit of the AR series from the ORION factory but this issue could not be found in the archives. However you can be reimbursed by a similar report on the radio Tünde (with the same technology) or by a previous spot on the radio Sonett.
According to the copyrights the projection is allowed within the frames of our organizations (the Foundation and the Association of Radio Collectors), so the members shall be hopefully able to watch the 34 minutes long film in the Spring of 2009.
It was not possible to check the content of some (e.g. exhibitions, fairs) matters so some pieces of news and information can occur, which are not related to radios. The report on the cathode ray tube production of Tungsram in Nagykanizsa is missing, but there is an additional report on the TV production of Vadásztölténygyár.
Certainly this enumeration cannot be comprehensive but contains most of the available (public) matters of that period indeed. The further processing or the publishing by the Association of Radio Collectors on DVD could be a very important moment embalming the radio related heritage however by reading the list, it can be realised what treasures are around us which are perhaps not yet known.
