What would a 1939 radio broadcast studio look like?

I'm painting the background scenery for a play, it's an original production so I don't have anything previous to look at. I would like to make it accurately detailed.

I've been on the tour at NBC's headquarters at Rockefeller Center, NY and they have actual studios from back then! Nothing too exciting. Some old desks and chairs and those microphones suspended on springs. But there was also a room with the sound effect equipment (The guys who operated that were called Folley Artists, named after some guy named Folley).

There is a picture below of a radio boradcast of DRAGNET being performed. The Folley machine in in the background.

Another photo of some other broadcast, too.
