Tel-Tec, New York specialists in television, have made majority of metropolitan installations. Headed by George Duvall (far left), Tel-Tec has made the necessary changes, to get new standards, on more than 600 television sets since July. After changes and alignment, each receiver is "air checked" before it is returned. New installations are constantly being made as set owners move from one location to another. Experience is big factor in sizing-up a location before doing a lot of "roof work." TELEVISION CHANGE-OVERS SERVICE ORGANIZATION HANDLES BIG JOB IN N. Y. Man on the roof changes position of antenna while comparing notes over two-way phone system with man at receiver. This method is fastest and gives best results. After the location has been checked experimentally, the necessary mounting brackets are installed.

Antennas and transmission lines have proven reliable after two years of exposure and no attention. Rust is worst enemy. 38 Final check is made before mast is clamped. This antenna is double dipole with double reflectors. New owners are instructed in the use of the set and how to adjust the picture controls. New York is now served with about 30 hours of television programs each week from NBC and CBS. RADIO TODAY
