Directional ex-Class IA AMs

[Robert S Chase]

I doubt very much that the "fountain" in the foreground 
http://www.skywaves.com/bc/images/weaf_portwash01.jpg was either decorative 
(too much iron pipe) or a waste water treatment plant so my guess is that it 
was a water cooling sink for the transmitter. (AC not being a big thing in 
the 40's but still a possibility.) How did it work?
