Broadcasting live from the site of a new event was not commonplace in radio's early days. Often times, reporters would go to a site, with what passed for portable recording equipment, describe an event with words and sounds, and then bring back a transcription disc recording to be broadcast at a later time. Such was the case with this report, filed by WHAM commentator and reporter Al Sisson, from the christening and launching of a tanker ship that bore the name of Rochester. The recording was made on January 29th, 1943, in Chester, Pennsylvania.
