T-Type121 Provides an output for the operation of a 1 miHiampere recorder Provides an acoustic output (panel mounted speaker) to eliminate need for headphones Provides a source of power for operation of the 120D over long or continuous periods The Model 121 Accessory Unit is designed as a companion unit to the 1 20-D field intensity meter (also the WX-2A, WX-28, WX2C and WX-2D}. The principal function of the 121 is its ability to operate 1 miHiampere recorders of the Esterline Angus type to give a permanent record of field strength. This may be at a fixed remote location where commercial power is available or for mobile operation in which case a 6 volt storage' battery is used for power. Filament and plate power for the 1 20D's receiver is available; however it is still necessary to have reasonably good batteries installed in the 1 20D for regulation and filtering purposes. The 121 can also be used as a general purpose recording and monitoring amplifier when a high input impedance is desired and 5 volts D.C. is available. For Information write dept.

HELEN DAVIS on all accounts A PROMISING law career may have been nipped in the bud when Helen Davis left college in 1949 and turned to secretarial training as a springboard for advertising. A "lady timebuyer" for more than two years now, Miss Davis today is inclined to talk radio, color tv, uhf and other such subjects rather than the case of the state vs. John Doe. She is assistant media director and radio-tv timebuyer at Clinton E. Frank Inc., Chicago, having risen through the secretarial ranks of an agency and a tv station representative firm. Miss Davis handles all media (broadcast and printed) for Toni Co's Pamper, Tame and Casual products and all radio-tv media for Reynolds Metals Co., Wilson Milk, Dean Milk (a Wilson division) and Foulds macaroni. Having had some brushes with color tv in client contacts (Reynolds Metals was a sponsor on three color extravaganzas last year), Miss Davis' own feeling is that it is "sometime off yet" for the general public and that many advertisers "are not in a position to buy color programs" because of high costs. And while sympathetic to uhf, she also feels such stations should more aggressively promote their operations as part of the overall tv medium rather than as uhf vs. vhf. Among radio-tv accounts on which she is active, Reynolds sponsors Frontier (NBC-TV's reported answer to CBS-TV's Gunsmoke) and Toni Co. is well represented in network and spot tv with the three products handled by Clinton E. Frank. Her association with Toni products goes back to 1953-54 when she bought time for them at Weiss & Geller Inc., Chicago. Helen Lilias (a family name) Davis is a native of Chicago (born May 12, 1927) and attended New Trier High School, from which she was graduated in 1945. She then enrolled at Coe College as a pre-law major, working on the school's newspaper and participating in other campus activities. Graduated in 1949, she returned to Chicago and put in a year of "sweat and toil" at Katherine Gibbs secretarial school. Miss Davis entered advertising's doors as a secretary to the timebuying supervisor at Leo Burnett Co. in April 1951, and in October 1952 began working in a similar capacity at Harrington, Righter & Parsons Inc., tv station representative firm. A year later she joined Weiss & Geller as a timebuyer on Toni products. She joined Clinton E. Frank in October 1954. Miss Davis lives with her family in Wilmette, Chicago suburb. Hobbies: golf and swimming. She also takes delight in preparing special dishes (her specialty, salads) for friends. Page 26 • January 23, 1956 Broadcasting • Telecasting
