WITH THE UNHAPPY experience of Emley Moor's tubular steel mast behind them - it collapsed on March 19 - the Independent Television Authority have picked a self-supporting reinforced concrete structure as the permanent replacement.
So starts a story in the July 9 1969 edition of Electronics Weekly.
The concrete structure will be up to the 900-ft level. This is the I first time that a high-tapered concrete tower has been proposed in Britain to carry TV broadcasting aerials, and when complete; is expected to be the third highest of its type in the world.
Total cost of the tower, aerials and all ancillaries is likely to be between £400.000 and £500,000.
