Four men and one woman are seated in a room at a long table. Four are looking out at an audience; Dr. Montgomery appears to be looking at papers in front of him. There are microphones in front of each person with a jumble of wires/cords across the table. Behind the people is a dark wall with a large white insert panel/screen. Behind the woman and below the screen are what appear to be light or other types of switches. The plate is white with two small horizontal levers beneath which is a larger rectangular area.
