!!! Saving History From The Dumpster!

These pages are dedicated to preserving a historical record of broadcast equipment. Others are doing an excellent job in recording other aspects of the history of broadcasting. As we find them, we'll add links to them. This site consists of scanned manuals and catalogs of broadcast equipment. This page [started in 2002|https://web.archive.org/web/20020205095757/http://www.hallikainen.org/history/equipment/].In October 2005, the site was changed from hand coded HTML to a wiki. In June 2014, this was migrated to a new server and an updated wiki code set. In September 2015, the wiki was again moved to another server (a virtual private server at 1&1 running Centos). Because of severe issues with wiki spam, only registered users can edit the pages.  Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to add authenticated users, so please contact me regarding page edits or adding scans. Further, to prevent wiki spam through the calendar and other means, writes to the page_data are disabled unless I am making edits. You will see PHP error messages due to this, but the wiki should be fully readable. If you have a scan you'd like posted, please [mail it to me|mailto:harold@hallikainen.org], and I'll post it.

  From "Who We Are" - Let's be honest... We're a bunch of radio squirrels.  And very lucky radio squirrels at that.  We inherited the last remaining Morse code coast station in North America.  It was off the air but it was an intact time capsule.

  We made the restoration of KPH to operational status our life's work.  That was back in 1999 - the year the last commercial Morse code message in the U.S. was supposedly sent.

  Through the trust and vision of the Point Reyes National Seashore we were given permission to begin our project of restoration, documentation and operation.  And we've never looked back.

  As True Believers in the importance of our maritime radio heritage we have tried to research and document every aspect of the field.  Our area of specialization is the coast stations, ships and companies of the west coast of the United States. But anything to do with maritime radio anywhere in the world is of interest to us.

  Dedicated MRHS volunteers are busy with the preservation, restoration and repair of the historic artifacts with which we have been entrusted.  That work is the foundation on which the real goal of our project rests.  That goal is to assure that the culture, techniques and traditions of the men and women who came before us are not forgotten.  We feel that the best way to achieve that goal is through actual on the air operations.

  We look forward to visits by fellow True Believers in the importance of the preservation of our radio heritage.
* [Modesto Radio Museum|http://www.modestoradiomuseum.org/] - The Modesto Radio Museum foundation was formed in 2004 comprised of current and past men and women with local broadcasting experience. The original idea for the museum came in 2004, when Harry Pappas, owner of the original KTRB property on Norwegian Ave in Modesto, contacted Wes Page, Cecil Lynch and Cal Purviance with the idea to build a museum dedicated to preserving the history of commercial broadcasting in Modesto, and the area, beginning in 1933 when KTRB signed on the air in Modesto. The goal was to increase and preserve the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of their efforts and the equipment they used. Due to economic conditions, the museum is currently on the web only.

The varying distance between the stylus and the conductive underlayer varied the capacity between the stylus and the underlayer. This is similar to a very high frequency capacitor (condensor) microphone.

* [Phantom Productions Vintage Reel Tape Recorder Online Museum|http://reel2reeltexas.com/] - In collecting our vintage recorders, we have attempted to include pieces that had a significant role in the development of audio recording. Our focus is primarily on those reel to reel tape recorders that enabled musicians to hone their craft. We felt it would be interesting to include some of the early cylinder, disk and wire units, however, our main collection reflects the recorders that first became available to musicians and "prosumers" in the '50's, '60's, '70's and early '80's. So many innovations assisted the musician to capture that unique sound. They included, "sound with, and on sound," echo, and then came multi-tracking. Essential to the recordings were the microphones and mixer, so we've added some of those pieces as well. For perspective, we added reel to reel pages in radio catalogs from the late '30's to the early '80's and included tape recorder ads as well. We hope you enjoy our online information. Take a look at our "Phantom Time Line" page also. You'll see some of the audio and video units that were interesting benchmarks of production development. It continues to evolve as we have time. Enjoy!
* [Philips-Miller Film Recorder|http://www.orbem.co.uk/tapes/pm.htm] - Variable width optical recording. The recording was made by using a variable width "stylus" that was vertically modulated.

The Apollo AGC itself is a piece of computing history, it was developed by the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory and it was a quite amazing piece of hardware in the 1960s. It was the first computer to use integrated circuits (ICs), running at 1 Mhz it offered four 16-bit registers, 4K words of RAM and 32K words of ROM. The AGC mutlitasking operating system was called the EXEC, it was capable of executing up to 8 jobs at a time. The user interface unit was called the DSKY (display/keyboard, pronounced "disky"); an array of numerals and a calculator-style keyboard used by the astronauts to communicate with the computer.

Several years ago, I came across a 3 year collection of Weston Engineering Notes starting in 1946.  This was a far different time and many of the things we take for granted today weren't even dreams of the future yet.  Clicking the above logo will give you an enlarged sketch of an engineer's desk.  Engineering and physics books (complete with log tables) close at hand.  The ever present slide rule, a sharp pencil, drafting triangle and the all-important eraser being important tools of the trade.  A tube and a large can capacitor are part of a current project.  An analog meter waiting to prove or dis-prove the latest theory.  The pipe to be used while pondering the latest developments and speculating about the future."
