Headline Birth of a United Nations Document 
Caption Description Precision, speed and accuracy are the hall-mark of the astounding mechanism, developed by the United Nations to record its multilingual proceedings. These behind-the-scene pictures show the life story of an official record, from the spoken word to the printed document.  
The representatives have 48 hours to check their speeches and send in their corrections to the editors who incorporate them in the revised edition, which is most painstakingly prepared for publication. Correct spelling of names is written out on a blackboard to ensure uniformity throughout the document. All the above operations are carried out by the Official Records Division. [1948]
