- 8 - Bert has a couple of other papers "in the mill" which we feel you*!! want to read. We hope more of you will feel the urge to write up your experiences. They may be of valuable help to some fellow engineer struggling with the same problem which you have solved. Why don*t you send them to us to include in the Engineering Newsletter? John Brugger, Chief Engineer of WILL-AM-FM-TV and Clarence Bierbaum, John Wahlfeldt and Don Colaw of his TV staff are working like the proverbial beavers to get the WILL-TV transmitter on the air. The antenna and transmission line are installed, and at this writing it is a matter of tracking down a few elusive bugs and making final adjustments before the WILL-TV test pattern will be on the air, John reports progress is being made. Progress too is being made in the installation of the Detroit ETV Foundation trans¬ mitter WTVS at the Detroit Public Schools Studio. With power available at the end of this week, they will be able to complete final tests before putting a test pat¬ tern on the air. The Detroit University studio is in operation, the Public Schools studio is ready for live camera installation with film camera and projectors nearly ready for test. The Wayne University studio is still under construction with a completion date of September 1. POSTING OF STATION AND OPERATOR LICENSES Cy Braum of JCET writes "I think that the NAEB engineers would be interested in knowing that on July 22 the FCC changed its rules concerning Sections 3.16U, 3.26U, and 3.5>6U which relate to the posting of station and operator licenses at AM, com¬ mercial FM, and noncommercial educational FM, respectively. These rule changes are effective August 31. "The present rules require the licenses to be posted in the transmitter control room which raises questions about posting licenses when transmitters are operated by re¬ mote control for a part of the time. The revised rule provides for posting of the station licenses or authorizations at the principal control point of the transmitter with photocopies at other control points. Either the operator*s license or Ecc Form 759 must be posted at points where the operators are on duty. The language of 3.161* is as follows and the identical language is used in the other two rules: " Station and operator licenses; posting of . (a) The station license and any other instrument of station authorization shall be posted in a conspicuous place and in such manner that all terms are visible, at the place the licensee considers to be the principal control point of the transmitter. At all other control points listed on the station authorization, a photocopy of the station authorization shall be posted. (b) The original operator license, or FCC Form 759, of each station operator shall be posted at the place where he is on duty as an operator."
