The concealed. equipment and antenna must be placed directly under a corrugated sheet steel roof. Electrical ' machinery in the adjoining elevator building, banks of high tension transformers adjacent to the point of installation, the transmission | distance along with the high industrial area noise are all considered to be disruptive elements insofar as. obtaining successful transmissions from this area is concerned. However, due to the importance of this particular subject, the Laboratory suggests that an installation attempt be made in Spite of the adverse electrical conditions surrounding the area. : “An the event the environment precludes successful transmissions. out tora monitoring point, then the equipment would have to be removed and the pldnt;discontinued.
