Neil and others, this "heavy metal thing" is like a "disease," once you have it, you can't get rid of it!
In my younger life, courtesy of the Air Force, I was a heavy transmitter technician whose task it was to maintain and service ground to ground transmitters that were tied to three bay rhombics. I am sure now that they may be resting in some landfill having been replaced by solid-state Harris units. I can't think that they were brought back to the USA from England and the Azore Island where I was stationed. I can still recall all that the blower noise in the transmitter building which housed a minimum of twenty or so RCA, Westinghouse, Marconi, Collins, etc. It was somewhat difficult to talk to another tech in the three bays where the equipment was housed. Each bay was approximately 120 feet in length. When you were at either of the three bays it seemed such a long way back to the main console. Incidentally, the 20V-3 will soon be sitting next to my Western Electric 451A-1 unit at the Collins Radio Center extension. Of course, we will "keep the light on" if you wish to stop by for a visit.
