This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 08 June 1961 "The familiar van belonging to the Post and Telegraph Department will in coming months be more active around the city looking for radio interference. Mr. R.C. Batchelar (the District Radio Inspector) stated today that with the introduction of television sources of interference will have to be tracked down. In the photograph Mr. Batchelar is shown adjusting the rotating aerial in an effort to pinpoint the direction of the interference. Bearings taken from various points in the city give him the exact location of the trouble."
