The original make shift studio was The Arcon Studio, a converted PMG Fibro Storage Shed. This facility was used until the new studio building was completed. Direction to the Studio was shown on a sign board.

A 1957 photos of the Front of the Arcon building as well as a Side view of the Arcon building as it was surrounded by construction.

The Main Arcon Studio, its Production Control Room where in the Left Hand View the Producer and Sound Operator sat, and in the Right Hand View again where the producer sat and where the TP/CCU Operator worked. The overlapping pictures clearly indicate how small the room was and the temporary nature of the facility.

John Pickup (Floor Manager) recalls a typical night of the Presentation activities in the Arcon in 1956.
