About 40 years ago I had the opportunity to see the electro
-mechanical device used
to generate those antenna patterns. I was newly licensed and met Carl Smith's
son at a local hamfest, He was selling some insulator clevises. I asked if he
had any more. He said they had some more at their
EBAY item 192225630585 looks similar to the Multicomp clamp
connector discussed on
Towertalk early in 2011. See:

Hi Gary
Take a look at ebay 'UHF PL259 male clamp Plug
For putting up wire antennas I use 2 pulleys like those shown in the
link K9YC provided. For general tower work I use 3 and 4 rescue
pulleys like those shown at:

Years ago my wife Mary, N8DMM used a 12' piece of 3/8 diameter
aluminum tubing like a long sewing needle to thread 160 and 80
meter radials under heavy brush. It worked very well. A piece of
1/2 tubing was used to splice two pieces together the few times
we needed a longer needle
