Default Re: Pre-war television aerial spotting

Thanks for the info on the Telerection aerials. I have what must be an early post-war catalogue and thought that the sloping orientation of their multi-element aerials was due to photographic perspective.

An early post-war US aerial array that seems to consist of stacked Band I and Band III H aerials of a type I have never seen in the UK is shown on a Norman Rockwell painting - "The New Television Set" - for the "Saturday Evening Post" of 5 November 1949, extract attached. Rockwell was normally very precise in his depictions and at that time tended to work from photographs.
