Looking  for any documentation on Bell System TE  series short  haul 
microwave TE-1  or TE-2.
 
Reports, photos   any of the physical gear  left? 
 
We  do have the  1946 Test notebook  had  written   in a fine Bell Labs  
notebook by K.D. Smith.  It seems  this  notebook  documents te  first 
operational test of this system   between  Paramount studio  (KTLA) and  Mt 
Wilson...   Klaus Landsberg meetings are in detail too as well as  hardware tests   
etc etc..
 
Ken  Smith was   Bell Labs Engineer who during WWII did  RADAR and  
Proximity Fuse  work. Post  war Microwave  work  such as  TE1 and TE2  and  then 
into the dawn of the  semiconductor era, where most of our holdings on him are 
about. 
 
I am trying to scratch enough stuff together to make a nice history  
section  online about this  early system.
Prior to the  use of something lie  this how  did they  get  signal to the 
TX  site on Wilson?  Coax???
 
Please also  send  to our mailbox as well as  list.
 
Thanks  for your help in advance
