| | |  Wanamaker's: Encyclopedia II - DuMont Television Network - ProgrammingWith no history of radio programming to draw on, and always strapped for cash, DuMont was an innovative and creative network. Without the radio revenues which supported mighty NBC and CBS, DuMont programmers had to rely on their wits and on connections in New York's theatrical community to provide original programs still remembered fifty-plus years later.
The first broadcasts came from DuMont's Madison Avenue headquarters, but it soon found additional space (including a fully-functioning theater) in the New York branch of Wanamaker's department store. Still later, a lease on the Adelphi theater on Fifty ...

| | | | Wanamaker's: Encyclopedia II - Department store - History Hudson's Bay Company in Canada was the first store to include departments; however, by modern standards, it would not be considered a department store because of the size and range of items that were stocked. The same may be said about Gostiny Dvor in St Petersburg, which opened in 1785 and included more than 100 shops covering the area of over 53,000 sq. m.
The first true department store was founded by Aristide Boucicaut in Paris. He founded Bon Marché in 1838, and by 1852 it offered a wide variety of goods in "departments" inside ...

At the base of the vertical pipes is a wind chest which supplies air to the pipes. The manner in which the air is controlled varies depending on the ...

| | | | Wanamaker's: Encyclopedia II - DuMont Television Network - Halted at the Start DuMont began with one basic disadvantage; unlike NBC and CBS, it did not have a radio network from which to draw revenue. Also, early television licenses were granted to established radio broadcasters, and many long-time relationships with radio networks carried over to the new medium. As CBS and NBC gained their footing, they began to offer programming that drew on their radio backgrounds, bringing over the most popular radio stars; thus early television stations, asked to choose an affiliation with CBS, offering a Jack Benny, a Lucille Bal ...

| | | | Wanamaker's: Encyclopedia II - DuMont Television Network - The End DuMont only survived the early 1950s because of WDTV in Pittsburgh, the nation's sixth-largest market at the time. WDTV's only competition came from UHF stations (no other commercial VHF station signed on until 1957), giving it a de facto monopoly on television in Pittsburgh. Since WDTV carried secondary affiliations with the other three networks, DuMont used this as a bargaining chip to get its programs cleared in other large markets.
But by 1953 DuMont was in severe financial straits. That year, the struggling ABC (with only fourtee ...

Pipe organ - Predecessors.
The word organ originates from the Latin word "organum", the earliest predecessor of the instrument used in ancient Roman circus games and similar to a modern portative.
Pipe organs date back to classical antiquity. Early organs were often hydraulic; the inventor most often credited is Ctesibius of Alexandria, an engineer of the 3rd century BC, who created an instrument called the hydraulis. The hydraulis was common in the Roman Empire, and was capable of being immensely l ...

Most discount department stores offer wide assortments of goods; others specialize in such merchandise as jewelry, electronic equipment, or electrical appliances.
