How the Boxing Day Run has harnessed cutting edge technology to produce the results. |
 |
John Creane speaks into portable audio radio transmitting device (ARTD) on the Saltwood village green. |
 |
This is what one looks like (I think we need a newer picture. Ed) |
 |
The next consideration was how to send the signals, so we needed to use a series of masts.These show the earlier masts.
The Boxing Day Run committee decided not approve this carbuncle 2 model on grounds slight obtrusiveness. |
 |
This picture shows climbers about to fit a mast on top of a London multi-story carpark.
The mast doubles as a flagpole. |
 |
We decided to "go green" in Beaconsfield and disguise the antenae as a tree. Doesn't it look real? |
 |
You can hardly see this one in Leicester. Just looks like a TV aerial. |
 |
Now this one in Derby is fine, unless a lorry knocks it down |
 |
Cunning receiving device known as a loadspeaker. Also note the recording devices, yet
to be marketed but codenamed MP3's |
 |
Avid and excited listener, picking up the list of numbers of runner.
Just think, from Saltwood to Nottingham through the aether, using so-called radio waves.
What will they think of next? |
 |
The final stage is writing the numbers down, using Biro's invention of 1951, the ball point pen. |
