John Frazier

(Original Caption) A photo of John Frazier, who is the worlds pioneer and veteran in the installation of outside pickups for radio work. His work dates back to 1920, when the first program transmitted by the radio station KDKA was transmitted in November. His ability in developing apparatus for use in picking up programs originating at a distance from a transmitting station has served as a guide for nearly all such work now being done. Mr. Frazier is connected with the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. where he has the title of Manager of the Telephone Department, but he is also in charge of transmitting activities at KDKA.
