This original newspaper contains a prominent inside page heading, photos, and long detailed report of the first broadcast of a television picture from the ground (from a TV mast atop the Empire State Building) to a passenger airplan in flight ! This was the first public demonstration of television being broadcast and seen LIVE on an airplane in flight !! On May 1, 1931, construction was completed on what is still the world's tallest building—the Empire State Building in New York City. Less than eight months later, a television transmitting antenna had been erected atop tile structure (a point originally designed as a mooring mast for dirigibles). During the ensuing 36 years. television and FM radio signals have continued to be transmitted from this location. Today, 22 stations share the site. The original tenant at the pinnacle of the mooring mast (the topmost portion of the building) was the National Broadcasting Company. NBC began experimental television transmissions from the first Empire State antenna on December 22, 1931; Separate transmitters for visual and aural transmissions were used with the call letters W2XF and W2XK respectively. These two transmitters were operated concurrently with another NBC television transmitter already located at the New Amsterdam theatre studio on 42nd Street. This earlier station carried the call letters W2XBS (later transferred to the Empire State transmitter) and operated on approximately 2 MHz with 60-line, mechanically scanned picture signals. The first experimental transmission from the Empire State Building were 120-line pictures using mechanical scanning of both film and live subjects. Excellent condition.
