I have an associate who is a retired broadcast engineer and is
researching the early history of television including the contributions
of Dr. Allen B. DuMont and the DuMont Television Network. He says that
while Clarke Ingram has done extensive work on the DuMont History, very
little has been said about the technical side of the Network. He has
questions about what happened to the TV Equipment manufacturing arm of
DuMont Laboratories and understands DuMont equipment was used by many
early broadcasters with some as a "turnkey" station. He'd sure like a
list of those stations. Having lived in Kansas City, Missouri for much
of his career, he had an opportunity to visit DuMont's only UHF outlet
after it went dark. Actually, all that is left is the original studio
space in a downtown building and the transmitter site (now a church) on
the Kansas side of the Stateline. He's asked me for his help and now
I'm asking for yours.
Check online for Ed Reitan's Television History, The Early Television
Foundation, and Chuck Pharis' website.
