O'Neil Standing at the Spiricom:
| At right is the only (known) photograph of William
O'Neil standing at his Spiricom apparatus. This photo, reportedly taken in
August, 1981, has been published in George Meek's books
and it has also been made available on several websites including
worlditc.com.
The photograph is said to have been taken "indirectly", i.e., the camera actually shot this image from the screen of a video monitor that was in use at the time. Based on supplemental information from the books by George Meek and John Fuller, I am attempting to identify the various pieces of equipment which, when assembled together, comprised the Mark IV Spiricom. If any of you old school radio engineers out there recognize any of the unidentified pieces of this apparatus, please let me know. |
