- Fairbanks, G. Voice and Articulation Drillbook, Second Edition, Harper
- and Row, 1960.
-
- This book is intended for speech therapists and includes and introduction
- to phonetics and acoustics. One of its diagnostic tests, the amplifier
- passage (p. 114), was used to adjust DECtalk's speech rate parameters.
