3A was used as the Children's Hour studio;
3B was a small talks studio. |
Wherever it may have been, the photo, right, shows the Silence Room. The fourth
floor listening room contained a mixer to handle the single microphone and the two gramophone
points.

when he broadcast.
right - the Waiting Room Lounge, known later as the 3E Annexe. |
3A was also used for chamber music and Dance Band performances (including those by Henry
Hall). The photo, left, shows a temporary decorative finish pending acoustical
experiments. The caption for the picture describes the window at the top as that of the
Silence Room, but the floor plans make clear that it is, in fact, the listening room and
that the Silence Room is the smaller window to the left of the door.

3A was 35' x 15' x 19' high, a volume of approximately 10,000 cubic feet.
