“…42 The 'anti-slavery men of Glasgow, Smith continued, 'were for the most part rigid dissenters, entertained this prejudice in the highest degree'. 43 But, according to Smith, the power of Aldridge's performances won the admiration of John Murray, then the Secretary of the Glasgow Emancipation society, whose anti-theatre views were profound and deep-rooted. Murray's attendance at the Glasgow Royal to see Aldridge was his 'one and only visit to a theatre'.…”

African American actor Ira Aldridge, who toured widely across Britain, Scotland, Ireland, and Europe and is the first known black performer to play Othello in England, is the focus of this chapter by Theresa Saxon. She focuses on the critical reception of his work in London and in provincial theatres in the North West and how newspaper reviews of his performances reflected regional attitudes toward racial identities and debates about enslavement. Saxon describes how theatres, in addition to the Church and the press, were one of the central loci of the dramatization of arguments over the slave trade and abolition of slavery. Aldridge’s reviews in London papers, where his characters were almost always enslaved, were largely racist and even his defenders’ reviews were through the lens of race. In contrast, his reception in the regional patent theatres of Manchester, Liverpool and Lancaster, centers of abolitionist activity, were typically positive and lauded. Although there does not seem to have been direct association between Aldridge and abolitionist figures, much of the critical praise he received smacked with the rhetoric of abolitionism as it focused on his skill and intellect to illustrate the wrongs of pro-slavery arguments of racial hierarchies.

This paper is a description of the antenna pointing system used in the satellite ground station at Andover, Maine. It is an introduction to the following five papers in this issue, which describe and discuss in some detail the various major parts and features of the antenna pointing system. In order that the antenna have sufficient gain for the Telstar experiment, it was necessary that it have a “pencil” beam of about 1/5 degree in diameter. This requires an antenna pointing system of high accuracy. The equipment and methods required to achieve this accuracy are outlined.
