Stratovision
(Continued from Page 1)
work on military radar had so
crowded my mind with details of
its operation that I looked for
radar possibilities in everything I
saw,” he said.
“At any rate, as the flat Texas
landscape rolled beneath the plane
I was impressed by the possibili
ties of television and FM radio op
eration. Both have characteristics
similar to radar, from an airplane,
especially at the altitudes flown
by Stratovision planes.”
FCC Delayed Approval
In cooperation with the Glenn
L. Martin Co., a converted B-29
was equipped for SUatovision. The
plan worked as expected, but de
lay in getting a Federal Communi
cations Commission license, coupl
ed with the invention of the coaxi
al cable for .transmitting television
programs, caused the project to
be shelved.
The theory behind the plan is
now being used by the Army,

It’s been a good year for
me in the life insurance
business. I want every man
I have contacted in 1952 to
know that I am grateful for
the courtesy and considera
tion shown me throughout
the year — not only by
those who have bought in
surance from me but by
those who haven’t, as well.
There probably isn’t anoth
er place in the world, ex
cept Texas A & M, where
a man would find such a
f r i e n d 1 y reception and
courteous treatment by ev
eryone he meets. Old Army
may not be what it used to
be, but the men it is turn
ing out are still gentlemen
in every sense of the word.
