Neues Header-Design eingebunden

  • Wesentliche Definitionen in /shared/css/fresh.css (mit dem Versuch, so wenig externe Seiten wie moeglich damit zu beeinflussen)
  • Korrekturen damit zerschossener Stellen in common.css
  • fresh-iefixing: Statistiken aktualisiert, aber Testen im IE6 steht noch aus...
  • gmaps-impressum: Anmerkung, dass es nur aufm Server funktioniert. Ein Alert kommt zwar trotzdem noch, aber ein Versuch war es wert.
  • auto-bildbreite: Dem IE6 gesagt, dass er es lassen soll (ungetestet)
  • /en/inc/head.inc.shtm: Auto-Bildbreite schon mal eingebunden (auch wenn es noch nirgends verwendet wird)
  • broadcasting: Auffaelligen Typo beseitigt

Im Englischen steht neben den Uebersetzungen auch die Ueberschrifts-
Anpassung nach dem neuen Deutschen Text an.

49    <p>It is astonishing to see the incredible pace at which the development of
50       broadcasting systems took place. Beginning with very simple devices using
51       crystals for demodulation the technology matured very fast and resulted
52       in the design and development of high performance transmitters and receivers
53       employing super heterodyning and the like.
54       This paved the way from simple crystal receivers which required special
55       skills to operate to everyday radios which were easy to operate and soon
56       could be found in nearly every household. A process which took a mere 15
57       years from its first steps to near perfection.
58       This development is reflected in the appearance of the devices as well. While
59       the first receivers were of a very technical design, later devices turned into
60       wonderful pieces of furniture, fitting neatly into the average household and
61       denying the fact that the receiver itself was a rather complicated piece of
62       equipment. This page shows some selected examples from the collection of the
63       museum which contains about 150 different receivers.

66<!--
67      <p>The short time between the moderate launch of broadcasting in the early 1920s and its perfection is amazing. The era of broadcasting began in Germany in 1923, at first with very limited reception quality. 15 years later the quality of reception was almost perfect. At the beginning the apparatures had a very technical design (exactly like today), but since the 30s the radio apparatures changed to partially attractive pieces of furniture. Chosen examples from the museum-holding (150 pieces) for both kinds are shown on this page.</p>

73            This is an example of a cheap

75            be connected to the mains thus eliminating the bulky anode batteries
76            requires by previous generations of receivers.
77            The sound quality of this receiver is quite limited and the horn
78            loudspeaker makes for a sound which one would expect from a tin can.</p>

85           same time frame. Equipped with an Acrophon loudspeaker it featured
86           a rich sound although with very limited bass. In addition to this
87           the receiver was quite sensible and could even receive stations
88           far away while the cheap model above was limited to the reception

108      <p>The following pictures show some receivers of outstanding design
109         and outstanding technical properties. Apart from these the
110         museum's collection contains a lot of different receivers
111         covering all stages of the development of public radio
112         broadcasting.
113         These receivers include crystal radios, battery powered receivers
114         from the 1920s, a 'Luxus Super' (1930s) as well as the first postwar
115         receiver equipped with motorized search functionality and remote
116         control by cable, the SABA Freiburg 3D. The sound of this receiver
117         is so rich and impressive that even young people are faszinated and
118         admire this 50 year old technical miracle.</p>

124              Having intelligent all-in-one furniture suitable for all kinds of music is an old dream
125              which appeared some years after the introducion of mass broadcasting. The radiogramophone
126              on the left is the <b>Telefunken 650 GK</b> from 1931/32. The record player was quite
127              modern, featuring a magnetic system and electric motor. On the other hand it still used
128              gramophone needles and the needlessly weighty pick-up stressed the records.
129              Nevertheless the sound quality of the radiogramophone was much better, compared to an
130              ordinary gramophone player. The chassis is made out of noble walnut trees, therefore
131              this piece of furniture was very expensive.

141      <p>The next two pictures show two apparatures that point out themselves optically and also technically, but the picture gallery could be continued without stopping.
142      <br />Many other curiosities can be admired in the museum, an audio experience is possible in every epoch: detectors, batterie-receivers (1920s), "Luxus-Super" (1930s) and at the end the first postwar receivers with motor-channel search and cable-remote control: SABA Freiburg 3D. The sound of this milestone with 5 built-in loudspeakers is so impressing that even CD-spoiled kids would stand wondering in front of this nearly 50-years old apparature.
143      <br />All in all you see how broadcasting was two or three generations ago and how fast the aparatures developed.</p>

166          A rapid leap in time to the youngest model in the museal collection: The portable receiver from Metz with built-in gramophone. Of course the apparature, built 1956, still uses tubes.
