ED is asking for pictures of transmissions equipment, such as the beacon towers that might be found at German airfields that would have transmitted navigation signals.

 

I havent seen much beyond radar towers, not sure if they were dual purpose or if they just dont have much in the way of photos of such equipment.

Some rare pictures here, dated 1936:

Here is actually finally an example of the fore- and main signal antennas placed repectively 3 km and 300 m before the runway along the centre line.

This picture is on the left.

 

To the right is a picture of the triple dipole guiding antenna.

HISTORY OF RADIO FLIGHT NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

 

No pictures but description of Late war Lorenz system, which should interest ED.

 

FIGHTER LANDING SYSTEM

This meant that the EB1 2 was not to be the predominately used receivers. To obtain an audio signal when flying over the outer and inner marker beacon, the other receivers operating on 38 MHz were rebuilt to operate on 30 – 33.3 MHz. In this manner they could operate on the same frequency as the new EB1 2 receiver.

In addition, the localizer beam transmitter which had a range of 40 km, was located at the far end of the runway. The marker beacon transmitters were also relocated from 3 km to 20 km for the outer marker beacon and from 750 m to 3 km for the inner maker beacon along the side of the runway. With this modification, the pilot was able to approach the airport from above the clouds and fly through the clouds in a straight path without having to make instrument turns. This also allowed more time for altitude corrections which made landings easier for young pilots who did not have the instrument training that the older pilots had.
