Biographical notes:

Russ Johnston worked in early radio and in 1948 joined NBC. He was concerned about the use of film in early television programming and defended its inclusion. He presented his positions to NBC management, 1948-1949. There were technical problems in early television and it was uncertain how these deficiencies would be resolved.
