Crystal Palace mast for new BBC TV station

Nov. 11, 1955 - Reservoir Of TV Power: A reservoir had to be drained for erection of a temporary mast for the British Broadcasting Corporation's new TV station at Crystal Palace, London, which when opened early next year will almost double the power of the corporation's present station at Alexandra Palace. Eventually this power will be increased to nearly 500 kilowatts, giving the B.B.C. one of the most powerful television transmitters in the world. Photo shows One of the statues on the grounds of the Crystal Palace remains on the edge of the reservoir after the water has gone and the first 440 ft. of the 640 ft. TV mast have risen
