    This might or might not be the right Nolan, but the Waterford Standard of Saturday 29 January 1949 has the obituary of Mr R.B. ("Bennie") Nolan of Annaville, aged 60. He had carried on the building and contracting business started by his father and was one of the largest employers in the building trade. Perhaps he commissioned the photo on behalf of an inventive employee?

    this technology was being developed at Bell Labs around this time...they probably worked with WOR in Newark, with the chief engineer Jack Poppele, to make this possible.
