Catalogs

  • Gates 1950 transmitter booklet. Contains data on BC-5B, BC-10B, BC-1F, BC-500D, BC-250D transmitters, the GYU-48 "Complete Radio Station (includes transmitter, monitors, audio limiter, etc.), MO-2890 AM frequency monitor, MO-2639 AM modulation monitor, model 44 antenna coupler, model 47 "tower termination equipment," directional phasors, lighting chokes, rack cabinets, and suggested studio designs. low resolution (3.3M), high resolution (9.7M). Scanned by John T. M. Lyles.

  • Gates 1950 Communications Catalog - Radiotelephone and radiotelegraph transmitters for 2 to 22 MHz. The telegraph transmitters can do 600 WPM. The radiotelephone transmitters are available as communications or broadcast models. The broadcast models include a modulation reactor. The communications transmitters run the final RF amplifier through the modulation transformer secondary.

    This catalog also includes VHF FM transmitters (150 - 175 MHz) for short range point to point communications.

    The catalog also contains communications receivers that cover 540kHz to 43MHz.

  • Gates 1950 Speech Input Equipment Catalog - Audio consoles for AM, FM, and TV stations. Also listed are speakers, communications receivers, rack cabinets, patch panels, limiting amplifiers and other amplifiers, transcription equipment, tape recording equipment, disc recording equipment, line equalizers, microphones, attenuators, accessories, test equipment, price list, etc.

    Another interesting product is a "telephone dial" driven remote line selector. The user dials the remote broadcast line to be used, and a remote stepper switch selects the appropriate remote broadcast telephone line.

  • Gates 1950 Transmitter Catalog - AM transmitters, modulation monitors, frequency monitors, antenna couplers (tuning networks), directional antenna phasors.
  • Gates 1950 BF-250A Brochure - 250W FM transmitter. Uses a GL-2H21 Phasitron tube for modulation.

  • Gates 1958 Catalog - Due to the large number of photographs, the files ended up pretty large. To get them down to a somewhat reasonable size, the catalog is broken into parts. Contributed by Jerry Gillivan
