Summary[edit]

Description
English: A campaign sound truck belonging to 1940 Florida, USA, governor candidate Hans Walker, from a radio magazine. Sound trucks with public address systems were used in the US for political campaigning from the 1920s to the 1950s, driving through neighborhoods while playing recorded speeches by the candidate at a high volume. They are still used in Japan, Portugal, and other countries.

Caption: Truck sound-equipped by Radio Nick, Orlando Florida, purchased by friends of the candidate. Original installation, operation, and maintenance are profit sources for the sound man. Speakers are University Labs.

Alterations to image: Cropped out the magazine article title from white space.
