Collection Descriptive Notes: 
Native speaker (male), using the "non-Brahmin" dialect, voices Units 1-20 (apparently from the 1967 text, Intermediate Tamil: The "John-Gopaalan" Conversations.) After each utterance he leaves a pause for the student to repeat.
Collection Technical Notes: 
Tapes were recorded at the Language Laboratory studio in August-October 1967. The speaker further identifies this series as "Series 10". Note that the coding for the digitized files now conforms to present standards, e.g., in the use of the code "rep" (=repetition), even though the phrase "version for repetition" is not heard on the tape. Note also that the prefatory "Note" in the text has been scanned into the database. WAVE files are now converted to MP3s.
