- 1 - TV TECHNICAL TIPS NO. 6 (March, 1955) By Cecil S. 3idlack, -NAEB TV Engineer Big news of the month from the Engineering Service was that the first issue of the NAEB ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER went into the mails on February 10. It was sent to all those engineers who returned our Technical Directory cards. If you haven’t received your copy,send us your name on a post card and we'll put one in the mail to you. The first issue contained 21 pages and consisted mainly of reprints of the engineering news columns from the regular NAEB Newsletter . We hope to have No. 2 roll from the presses in April, so watch for it. As we go to press, our Technical Directory list is still growing. Nearly 175 engineering staff members of educational stations, AM, FM, and TV, have returned our directory cards. Soon we plan to publish a Technical Directory—-we want it as complete as possible, but we can't dream up a list of names. Some one has to send them to us. So-dear reader, check with your engineers and ask them if they have returned our directory cards. If they haven't, a post card will do. ? • ? • Carl Menzer, Chairman of the NAEB Engineering Committee, was in Urbana February 21. He and Mrs. Menzer are now on their way to Mexico for a winter vacation. During his stay here, we worked out a tentative program for the 1.955 TV Engineering ■ Workshop. A grant has been made by the FAE which makes the Workshop possible. The tentative program has been sent to a number of people for their comments and suggestions. Soon there will be an official announcement of the time,place, and deadline for applications. Watch for it. Joseph Place, Audio-Visual Director for the Ferguson-Florissant School District of St. Louis County, Missouri, has sent us an article for the next ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER, "A Low Cost Master Antenna System for Television in Schools." In this article he tells how he solved the problem of a master antenna system in two of the schools of his system at low cost. In one school, two antennas serve 19 class¬ rooms at a cost of $125.00; and in the other, one antenna serves 12 classrooms at a cost of $75.00. We are making copies of his paper and will be glad to send it to you upon request. Winston Bugg of WABE in Atlanta is rewriting a couple of items on tape recording for the next ENGINEERING NEWSLETTER. We are also happy to announce that he has been registered as a Professional Engineer in Georgia, and has been elected Vice- Chairman of the Atlanta Section of the IRE. Congratulations! We are also happy to record that Bob Higgy, Director of W0SU, is back at his desk after a second eye operation. He reports that the weather of the past few weeks has practically stopped work on the new W0SU-TV building. We sent him ordering information on RTMA Resolution Charts and Slides and test films. So you see, things are moving along at W0SU. Bill Dunbar of General Communications, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, stopped by on his way home from a trip south. He left literature on the General Communications line of distribution amplifiers, switching systems, master power supplies and voltage regulators. If you want more information, I have inquiry cards or you can write him direct.
