Man, standing with his back to the viewer, operates a transmission recorder to archive programs. The equipment is old, possibly late 1930s.ORIGINAL CAPTION:At each of RFE's three transmitter sites Holzkirchen (near Munich), Gloria (near Lisbon) and Biblis (near Mannheim) - these special tape recording machines are in constant operation. Part of RFE's licensing agreements with the German Federal Republic and with the Portuguese Government, these machines record every sound transmitted by Radio Free Europe. Official time signals from the two host governments are fed continuously into the tapes, thus making it impossible to alter them in any way. Shortly after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 RFE sent 5 kilometers of these tapes to Bonn and to the Council of Europe at Strasbourg, where their contents were translated from Hungarian into German and French respectively. Following this, Chancellor Adenauer stated publicly that "the charges against RFE in connection with the Hungarian Revolution are not founded on fact." The Council of Europe came to a similar conclusion.
