Each room, delegato had a pair of carp onda provided for him.
Each microphone was in the charge of an interpreter, ono from Kuglish to Spaniah, the other from Spanish to English. Each microphone also had a separate line to the dolagator from one of the two countries represented.
Thus, the Spanish to English intorproter talked to the Ameri- ean delegatos, and the other inter- proter to the Mexican delegatos.
While an American was sponk- ing his own colleagues could lay down their earphones and Histon to him directly. At the ramo timo, the English to Spanish in- terpretor was translating his talk for the benefit of the Moxicas, who were listening through their earphones.
