of their work
the principals of Eugene's
first television station make
plans for the future. At
right is the first signal sent

quietly moved some equipment
into a back bedroom.
"He'll have to get it out just as
soon as they get the thing work
ing," Mrs. Begg warned. But there
was a note of resignation in herj
voice, for Emory has been a "ra-.
dio nut" ever since he built his
first crystal set in Centralia.l
Wash., in 1920 when he was 12
years old.
He built the 33-tube TV re- '
celver which he and Applegate
use in their experiments.
The total cost of the video
transmitter was less than $1,000,
exclusive of labor. It would cost
as much as $6,000 to buy, already
constructed. That does not include
Begg's picture tube and receiver.
Both Applegate and Begg cau
tion that commercial television
may be a couple of years away in
Eugene, although it might come
to Portland within a year.
"I guess it's only an educational
project now . . . just a hobby for
us hams," Applegate says, looking
endearingly at the disarray ol
tubes, cabinets, and cables clut
tering his living room, "but tele
vision will come to these parts
just as my great grandfather,
Charlie, and his wagon tram ar
rived, and stayed, in Oregon."
