The approximate cost ofthe building was §325,000. At the time the were discharged,it appears from the evidence that the cost to them of completing the con-tract would have been $1500.

AUDITORIUMSEFFECTS Of REVERDEKATION By Vecn 0. Knudsen l/ni>/er5iiv of CaliforniaSouihern Branch THE investigation of the effect of reverberation upon speech recep-tion has not been completed, but sufficient data have been obtainedto establish certain important relations between the time of rever-beration in a room and the efficiency of that room for the reception ofarticulated speech. Thus far, tests have been conducted in a smallroom, (volume 4096 cubic feet), in which the time reverberation couldbe controlled, and also in a group of fairly large high school auditoriums,having approximately same volumes (about 300,000 cubic feet) andshapes, but having times of reverberation ranging from secondsdown to .seconds. The articulation tests were conducted in the .same manner as has already been described for the noisetests. The caller called out the meanin
