Interesting advertisements for aerials and pre-amplifiers, the latter with valves of course! There’s an advert for downlead cables, showing that coaxial, screened twin and unscreened twin were all in use. Read the great Fred Camm’s view of the Beverage Report, and a summary of the report itself. This included the ‘Five Year Plan’ for television, which in the event was overtaken to some extent because of the need to get the network well advanced in time for the Coronation. There’s also a map of the UK showing present and future TV transmitters, as envisaged in the Five Year Plan. And there’s one of the very popular articles about making your own television aerial.
