[BC] Transmitter Readings every 30 Minutes

[Tom Spencer]

The original WFMS - Martin Williams, owner - had two Viking transports 
(the upside-down ones that ran "backwards") for the three-inch reels.  
While fun, not too bad as compared to the Ampex 350 transport trying to 
handle a 3".  Heck, there couldn't be more than a couple of cuts each; 
don't think the reel would HOLD enough tape to be able to load the 350 
otherwise!

Mr. Williams also had ONE turntable, and a ONE POT "board"....

(And I'm not sure but what there was one PREAMP for everything, as well...)

I never did try to see just how everything was wired up behind the face...

Those were the days...
