It was 1800 RPM, 30 cycles a second. The antenna was made up of a loop and sense type aerial that produced a combined polar diagram shaped like an artists palette with the centre at the 'thumb hole', the whole thing called a limacon. Rotating the loop aerial caused the asymmetric transmission to rotate, this cause the amplitude of the signal to go up and down. I'll try and post some diagrams tomorrow.
