The TV tower is a high tower (or mast), on which the
antennas of television and broadcasting transmitters are
installed.
The area of reception of television signals depends on the
height of the antenna suspension, so they are built as high
as possible and are often used also as observation
platforms

4. The Shukhov radio tower

The Shukhov radio tower
It was built in 1920-1922 according to the
project of the architect and inventor Vladimir
Shukhov as hyperboloid structure. Such
buildings have become in demand because of
the deficit of metal in the country. The planned
height of the new tower was 350 meters at an
estimated mass of 2,200 tons. However, under
the conditions of the Civil War and the lack of
resources, the project had to be reconsidered:
the height was reduced to 148.5 meters, and
the mass was 240 tons. The new project was
approved personally by Lenin.
