I didn't see anyone answer this.
A conical antenna was a popular and efficiently simple antenna used in the fifties. It derived from the early days of VHF reception in the 1930's and originally consisted of a dipole antenna with large solid metal cones. It was later simplified to form a cone using three protruding elements per cone with a reflector element added to the rear.
