Default Re: Tv Licence detector Vans

Quote:
The VHF era brought with it a new detector van design, this time built on a car such as to avoid clearance issues with the tall antenna.
I'm not sure what this means - unless it's saying that they were detecting the experimental medium-wave 30-line transmissions.

Television was already in the "VHF era" in 1952 when the vans were said to first be deployed.
