Using built-in oscilliscope, W. H. Jetton, WDIA Transmitter Supervisor checks tuning adjustment of new 50 kw Continental transmitter. Grounded grid construction of final amplifier is an important Continental feature. Machlett tubes, also stocked and distributed by Graybar, are standard original equipment on all Continental equipment.
WDIA goes "On The Air" with new 50 kw Continental AM transmitter ...via GRAYBAR
-Henry N. Fones, Chief Engineer WDIA, Memphis, Tenn.
"Anything I could say about Graybar wouldn't be good enough when it comes to describing the service they give and the quality of the products they deliver.
"Just take our new Continental 50 kw transmitter — from its advanced circuit design right down to | its lightweight, rustproof all-aluminum cabinet, I'm convinced it's the finest high-power transmitter unit available anywhere. And just to be sure we'd get maximum dependability right from the start, Continental engineers spent over a month here
deliberately trying to force components into failure and replacement before we hit the air.
"It's efficient and economical too — for reduced power from 50 kw to 5 kw for night time operation, final amplifier can be turned off and the signal driver-fed to the antennae.
"Everything here at WDIA — from antennae to emergency generator — was ordered from Graybar. They sure proved their point — one source . . . and one responsibility does make a big difference !" 440-15
