	USN Aircraft--USS Akron (ZRS-4), airship 1931-1933
		Commissioned in late October 1931, she spent virtually all of her short career on technical and operational development tasks, exploring the potential of the rigid airship as an Naval weapons system.
		During the remainder of 1931 and the early part of 1932, Akron made flights around the eastern United States and over the western Atlantic, including one trial of her capabilities as a scouting unit of the fleet.
		Damaged in a ground-handling accident at Lakehurst in late February 1932, she was again ready for flight two months later and began tests of her ability to operate an embarked unit of airplanes.

	Radio History: 1931
		NBC, which in November of 1931 celebrated its fifth anniversary, was profitable, as was CBS; and if you lived in New England, John Shepard III was expanding his Yankee Network.
		Among the female vocalists you might have heard in 1931 were soprano Jessica Dragonette and "The First Lady of Radio", contralto Vaughn DeLeath (whose career included singing for Lee DeForest's experimental station circa 1920, and being one of the few women program directors in New York in the early 20s with WDT).
		1931 was the year when controversial and bigoted radio priest Father Charles Coughlin had a parting of the ways with CBS, which tried to place restrictions on his network programs.

	1931 CIE Chromaticity Diagram
		Since it is impossible for a color monitor with RGB phosphors to display the full spectrum of colors of a true CIE diagram, the part that has negative x, y, or z values are displayed by adding white to them.
		These diagrams are based on 1931 2-degree CIE xyz color matching functions that remain international standards in both colorimetry and photometry.
		There are other color coordinate systems most of which are not any kind of transform of 1931 CIE system, so it is impossible to display diagrams of those system correctly on different monitors that are calibrated with 1931 CIE system.

	ClassicGaming.com - Game of the Week: Empire City: 1931 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Empire City: 1931 is the quintessential convenience store game, one that made the rounds at some of the local gas stations in my neighborhood.
		It was the kind of game where the title screen would be burned permanently onto the face of the monitor, leaving a darkened area when the screen wasn't in use (not to knock the game's manufacturer, Seibu Kaihatsu, or their maintenance practices).
		Empire City: 1931 is a great game that can give you a good ten to fifteen minutes of play per quarter, at least after an initial investment of a few quarters.

	Times New Roman™ font family : MyFonts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The now ubiquitous typeface Times New Roman was developed in 1931 for The Times of London under the leadership of Monotype’s typographic consultant, Stanley Morison.

		The first version of the typeface was ready in three sizes by June 1931, a remarkably short time, although the newspaper did not use “the Times’ New Roman” until 3 October 1932.

	The 1931 Gondoliers [abridged]
		This recording was the last of three abridged sets issued in 1931.
		All three were made rather quickly, and it seems they were motivated by competition from the rival Columbia label, whose abridged sets on 10" discs appealed to budget-minded buyers who did not have the equipment for playing the 12" discs that HMV used on the complete sets.
		Where the published take was achieved without a make-up session being required, the unpublished takes for the same selection are not shown.

	DVD Review - Dracula (1931)
		To discuss this DVD fully requires breaking it down into its three basic parts: the restored 1931 version with English dialogue and the original score, the same film with its new Philip Glass/Kronos Quartet soundtrack, and the 1931 Spanish version of the film (all of which are provided on this DVD).
		All the standard interviews with historians and living relatives that we've come to expect from the Classic Monster Collection are featured here, along with examples of the silent 1931 Browning version, and a bit of "lost" footage originally tacked onto the end of the film.
		Also included on the disc is a poster/photo montage set to music, some production notes, cast and crew information and a re-release trailer (that looks so bad, it gives new meaning to the expression "getting jiggy with it").
