PYREX Insulators have played
their part in many other spectacular example of extreme
service. The United States Coast Guard depends upon them
on all its radio communication systems for coastal
operations. The Atlantic Ice Patrol sends warnings of
icebergs to the trans-atlantic ships over antennae
equipped with PYREX Radio Insulators. The United States
Army Signal Corps, the Navy, the Lighthouse Service, and
the Air Mail all specify and use large quantities of
PYREX Insulators.
But these extremes of hard usage
are by no means the only important services that PYREX
Insulators have performed. A recent query has developed
the fact that over 300 broadcasting stations are equipped
with PYREX Radio Insulators. Such service is further
proof of their worth.
Constant, dependable transmission
from antennae, sometimes enveloped in fumes and soot, and
frequently subjected to storms and gales, is a definite
need of commercial broadcast stations, whether engaged
in message transmission and reception, or the broadcasting
of local or chain entertainment and advertising programs.
The opinions that some of them
have formed of PYREX Radio Insulators are stated in
abstracts from their letters, which appear in these
pages. Our files contain equally strong endorsements
from at least a hundred other prominent broadcasting
stations.
On pages 12 to 18 are listed and
illustrated the PYREX Insulators that have made these
extraordinary records. On your own equipment they will
produce the same service improvements. Your jobber can
supply you with all, save the least frequently used types,
which can be obtained directly from us.
"In our station W2XV we have
continuously used both your PYREX Antenna Insulators and
PYREX Entering Insulators throughout our whole antenna
system.
"These PYREX Insulators have never
given us one moment's trouble in all their service. Their
ruggedness and insulating qualities are supreme.
"Whenever we have an antenna
installation to make, we always advise the use of PYREX
Insulators."-- Frank A. Gunther, Radio Engineering
Laboratories, Long Island City, N. Y.
