The Blaw-Knox company was an American manufacturer of steel structures and construction equipment based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company is today best known for its radio towers, most of which were constructed during the 1930s in the United States. Although Blaw-Knox built many kinds of towers, the term Blaw-Knox tower (or radiator) usually refers to the company's unusual "diamond cantilever" design, which is stabilized by guy wires attached only at the vertical center of the mast, where its cross-section is widest. During the 1930s AM radio broadcasting stations adopted single mast radiator antennas, and the Blaw-Knox design was the first type used. A 1942 advertisement claims that 70% of all radio towers in the United States at the time were built by Blaw-Knox.

  • Ein Blaw-Knox-Sendeturm ist ein abgespannter, selbststrahlender Sendemast für Mittelwelle in Form einer Doppelpyramide. Der Blaw-Knox-Sendeturm fungiert als gegen Erde isolierter selbststrahlender Sendemast, dessen Länge üblicherweise ungefähr der Hälfte der abgestrahlten Wellenlänge entspricht. (de)

Several are listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, the distinctive diamond antenna design has been incorporated into logos of various organizations related to radio and a very large (scale) replica of the WSM (AM) Blaw-Knox tower has been built into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

  • Menara Blaw-Knox merupakan salah satu jenis yang dibangun pada tahun 1930-an di Amerika Serikat. Walaupun perusahaan telah membangun banyak menara, istilah ini hanya mengacu kepada menara radio yang berbentuk seperti "permata". Beberapa menara Blaw-Knox yang masih berdiri di Amerika Serikat saat ini digolongkan ke dalam (Catatan Nasional Tempat-Tempat Bersejarah). Rancangan menara radio yang berbentuk seperti permata ini pertama kali dipatenkan oleh Nicholas Gerten dan Ralph Jenner untuk perusahaan Blaw-Knox pada tanggal 29 Juli 1930. (in)
