"The Telemobile Units were delivered at the end of 1937, but for a year or more, NO pickups were planned from the field. Everything originated in Rockefeller Plaza.
In Nov. '38 came the first spot news coverage (probably the only such during the experimental era). The units left the garage in LI City to cover the dedication of a new swimming pool in Astoria. On the way they spotted a fire in an abandoned building on Ward's Island in the East River. The video reached 30 Rock okay, but W2XBS may have been off air at the time.
NBC Transmitter (house organ) report of the Rock Center auto show. Program included studio segments. Airdate Nov. 10, 1938."
