A Special Message to Dresser-ldeco Guyed Tower Owners
How to build a
TOWER
and save 20%
Now you can raise your antenna height as much as 750' and do the job for about 20% less than the cost of building an entirely new tower.
A new Dresser-ldeco engineering development makes this possible. We're now able to use sections of your present guyed tower, together with new sections, to create a taller tower at a considerable saving. You need never be off the air while the height increase is being made, and when you're through you'll have a standby tower left.
In one case, for example, we plan to increase a 1000' tower to 1675', keep the station on the air throughout the change-over, and leave a 400' standby tower in the bargain. The complete cost for doing this job is $59,000 less, or 20% less, than it would cost to build an entirely new tower.
For some stations, the saving will be proportionately more. In almost no case will it be any less. The exact amount will vary with the height change, wind load, and type of antenna involved.
In any case, if you own a Dresser-ldeco guyed tower and want all the advantages of increased antenna height, this new Dresser-ldeco development is worth investigating. It won't cost you a penny to do so.
Let us show you the exact cost comparison for your station. Call or write us now . . . Dresser-ldeco Company, Tower Division, 875 Michigan Avenue, Columbus 15, Ohio. (Branch: 8909 South Vermont Ave., Los Angeles 44, Calif.)

STEP 1 You're always on the air during change-over to a taller tower. Operations continue from present tower and antenna while new tower sections are erected on new foundations.

STEP 2 Standby antenna is side-mounted on present tower. Operations switch to, and continue from, this side-mounted antenna while top sections of present tower are dismantled and re-erected on top of new tower.

STEP 3 Antenna and lines are erected on new tower. Station switches to new operation. Standby tower remains for future use.
