A Small Drama from Long Ago, 1960

Description

This short play, set in the 85 foot control room, appeared in Green Bank's Jansky Lab mailboxes one night in 1960 or 1961. Although it was circulated anonymously, it was written by Bill Meredith, one of NRAO's first telescope operators. Filed with this copy is a September 1992 explanatory note by Cam Wade, which includes some history of the play and the real life names of charracters in it.
