...bought the company (later changing the name to Hoffman Radio to avoid confusion with Mission Bell Wine). But Hoffman did not get a chance to make many radios then. World War II made him, instead, the world's largest manufacturer of kites. He turned out 300,000 "antenna-hoisters" used for the "Gibson Girl" transmitters installed on life rafts. He had two plants and was grossing $4,200,000 at war's end, when he finally got his chance for big-scale manufacture of radio & television sets. It was the right time; the TV boom was just starting...
Duane & Tyler examined microscopically the tiny hairs on the side plumes of a male's antennae. Their typical length varied from 40 to 80 microns (.00156 to .00312 inch). A more significant finding: "All variations in the length of the hairs appeared to be close to four microns or multiples thereof. It is noteworthy that four microns is one-half the wave length of eight microns, which is well within the emission band of the female." Duane & Tyler suggest: "The male . . . moth has a tuned antenna array which is his receptor for locating the female...
...room before the Senate Banking & Currency Committee which was studying the President's proposed legislation. For three hours he testified, reading from a prepared statement, moving easily up & down the committee's table to catch their questions, waving a hearing aid in front of him like an antenna...
...gravity Its four lunar explorers-a physicist (Warner Anderson), an industrialist (John Archer), a retired general (Tom Powers) and a dimwit radio operator (Dick Wesson)-float weirdly around the inside of the rocket until they put on magnetized boots. Then they can walk on the walls. When a radar antenna jams, they go out on the hull in pressurized monkey suits to make repairs while traveling at seven miles a second. The scientist slips off into space, and his traveling companions stage a fantastic rescue that dramatizes the strange laws of spatial physics. Later, the explorers bound in seven-league...
Without the facilities of a large club transmitter, Harvard's hams must be content to broadcast at a maximum power of 150-watts, generally on the 10-meter band. This band requires only a 16-foot antenna, the size most easily erected by the Buildings and Grounds Department (cost, $15 for installation). There's only one trouble: every nearby wire about 16-feet long is "sympathetic" to this band, and puts out a signal which can be picked up over phonographs, and radio and TV sets. Maximum operation at other frequencies calls for longer aerials and more amperage than...
