Syracuse NY - This radically different type of television antenna is expected to bring stars of television to new communities. Developed by General Electric engineers at Electronics Park here the 40 foot high antenna is for use in ultra-high frequency TV transmission, which is expected to play a major role in the nation's future TV expansion. Known as a "helical" antenna, it increased initial television transmitting power 20 times. It is now being used in test telecasts from General Electric's 100 kilowatt UHF transmitter, most powerful UHF-TV transmitter yet developed.
