Sugarloaf TV Delay
Use of the Sugarloaf television transmitter will be delayed until later in the month because the specialists required for the critical tuning of the aerial are not yet available. Mr W. I. Harrison, the N.Z.B.C. Director of Engineering, said that the men required for this work were still working on the Waiatarua transmitter which was opened on Saturday. “It will be a few days before they can come to Christ-i church,*’ he said. “It appears likely that the Sugarloaf transmitter will not be opening until some time in the latter half of the month.” "winched From Mud.—A bulldozer and mechanical digger had to be winched from the Estuary near the Heathcote river yesterday morning. They had become bogged in mud in the face of the incoming tide. The machines were working on the Mount Pleasant sewer, which is being taken round the Estuary, off shore.
