- 3 ' subway and train to get to Lowell Friday evening to enable us to get ac¬ quainted over the weekend with our second granddaughter, Monday (19) we were on an early train from Boston to New York, early enough to see the beginning of the second snow storm which deposited another foot of snow in the Boston area. We arrived in New York City 90 minutes late to find traffic at a standstill due to a 12.5 inch snowfall on Sunday. Taxis were few and very far between, and hotels were jammed but the busses were still running. Advance hotel reservations meant only good intentions however. Another bus landed us in a hotel with rooms available although not so con¬ veniently located. In spite of the storm and the gigantic transportation problem it caused, the annual Institute of Radio Engineers Convention was well attended, so well in fact that many were turned away at some of the more popular technical ses¬ sions. We were pleased to see BYed Remley, Chief Television Engineer of the University of Michigan, George Murphy, Chief Engineer of the Auburn Studio of the Alabama State Network, and Ralph Townsley of WBAA at Purdue University in attendance. We feel that educational radio and television should be repre¬ sented at such meetings and hope that in future meetings our participation will increase. Thursday afternoon and Friday we spent in Brooklyn at the Board of Educa¬ tion Station WNYE. Herman Haverkamp, WNYE Chief Engineer, was busy going over space requirements for new television facilities which we discussed in detail. Jim Macandrew sat in with us for a few minutes in discussing their plans. We also had a lengthy session with Ed Kratt of the NAEB Engineering Committee and Herb Friedman of the WNYE staff on tape recorders, their characteristics and maintenance routines. We*11 report later on the remainder of the trip. We*11 put this in the mail with the hope that it will beat us home by a day and make the deadline for the April Newsletter . ***** We have available the procedures used by W0I-TV, Channel 5, and WILL-TV, Channel 12 in making harmonic measurements on their television transmitters. In both cases, the method is essentially the same as that set forth in the General Radio Experimenter Vol. XXIX, No. 10, March, 1955. We are not plan¬ ning to publish these in the Engineering Newsletter since they are not of general interest, however, we will be glad to make copies for those who re¬ quest them. ***** A sample log form for kinescope recorder operations was included in Issue No. 5 of the Engineering Newsletter. We ! d be glad to send you a copy upon request. r
