[NJARC] Western Electric 304B AM Transmitter

[ETF]

 The Early Television Museum just got a bunch of stuff from the Ohio
Historical Society, from Columbus broadcaster WTVN. In addition to a
complete RCA TT-5A transmitter, we got a Western Electric 304B AM
Transmitter, apparently used by WTVN-AM.

Does anyone know anything about this transmitter?

Regards,

Steve

Two years ago we were out at the Early Television Convention and one of the
guys was worried that he was going to miss an auction on eBay that was
ending during the festivities. I had my then-new wifi-capable notebook with
me so we went driving around the neighborhood. Within a few blocks we found
a signal, he snagged his treasure, amazed, and we were back at the museum
before the break was over. Later I was visiting a friend who had dialup
service and it kinda p'd him off that, before he had finished loggin in, I
was able to download a large file for him while simultaneously calling him
on his phone from my computer (while sitting two feet from him), all
courtesy of one of his neighbors! It was pretty hilarious in a geeky sort of
way. Last summer, while vacationing, I stayed in touch but just barely. It
must have been a strange sight: me with the laptop held over my head pressed
against the wall of the second story bathroom, the only place I could get a
signal of any kind! I should probably protect my own home network, but like
apparently 90% of the people out there, I never bothered.
