2 Portable Equipment reporter’s body, leaving his hands free. The microphone will not block the view of his face. The equipment required to do the same job at the 1956 conventions weighed nearly three times as much. The microphone -transmitter came to be called a "beer mug, " because the reporter had to hold it in front of him by the handles on both sides. An engineer had to accompany the reporter and carry the receiver and power supply. Sellar said research and development of the new units started a year ago. The equipment is highly transis¬ torized. The transmitter and receiver each has its own antenna. It is expected that they will operate continuously for six hours on one set of batteries. The reporter has the option of wearing either an ear plug or a headset. A feature of the latter is that it has been designed to eliminate all surrounding noise. Five reporters working on the television coverage and four on the radio coverage will use the portable units, a greater number than were equipped with such devises in 1956. o NBC-New York 6/15/60
