The exact date of this episode is unknown. We've filled in the date above with a placeholder. What we actually have on record is: uuuu-uu-uu.

A four minute sound portrait of New York. From the top of
the RCA building a man points out the Empire State
Building, the U.N., and the Brooklyn Bridge. We hear the
sounds of a thunderstorm, dogs, birds, children playing,
subways, barkers, street jack-hammers, sirens, tour busses,
horns, merry-go-rounds, marching bands, and church
singers. 4:00
