No doubt they had far more info than NBS at that point. The dorkiness factor is quite high here, though. Bell Labs had been studying acoustics and sound all along for the phone system.

I wonder if this was some sort of prank his co-workers decided to pull. <blockquote><i>Hey, V.L., those tests you're doing -- aren't they being thrown off by the clothing you're wearing? Maybe you should do something about that...</i></blockquote> Unfortunately, Mr. Chrisler decided to build a soundproof box instead of strip naked, foiling their hilarious plan. On a more serious note, I am surprised the Bureau of Standards decided to get very involved in this. The concept of acoustics must have been well-known and well-researched for years, in theaters with a real stage (plays or opera or symphonies, etc)... they couldn't have extrapolated from that information? That’s hilarious. I wonder if this was some sort of prank his co-workers decided to pull.
