  • Abstract
    Since 1934, it has been customary for the Institution of Electrical Engineers to make short films of those eminent persons who have been awarded the Faraday Medal of the Institution, or who have been elected to Honorary Membership. The author explains how this enterprise was started and tells of the problems which beset the making of some of the earliest of these `talking portraits´. Written transcripts of two of the portraits are presented
