Headline Interpretation Service for United Nations Meetings 
Caption Description United Nations Headquarters provides the most modern technical facilities to make the meetings intelligible both to participants and to visitors. All speakers' remarks are interpreted, at the time they are made, sometimes into as many as five languages (Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian). This system is called simultaneous interpretation.
Interpreters, two to a booth, are capable of translating in a matter of seconds from any of the four languages into their own. On the control panel in the engineer's booth (shown here) are black keys next to identification plates representing on the panel the placement in the meeting room of representatives of each nation, the President or Chairman of the meeting, and other officers. As a speaker is recognized, the engineer snaps the key and the speaker's voice comes alive through the small microphone on the desk before him. Meters on the control panel indicate the sound volume in the meeting room and in the headsets carrying the interpretations, permitting volume control by the engineer. [Exact date unknown]
