What is an audio engineer? c. 1961

From an AES journal circa 1961. It’s interesting to see how the meaning of ‘audio engineer’ has shifted over the past half century. An ‘Audio Engineer’ circa 1961 would almost certainly be called a ‘tech’ or a ‘broadcast engineer’ today, while the circa ’61 ‘audio technician’ would almost certainly be called an engineer or mixer today.

I appreciate the effort and the information...but the scan has a whited out patch that makes it pretty tough to read. It's definitely a good article.

I think some higher education institutions offer 'tonmeister' degree courses. I wonder where that fits in...Cheers.
