Could be two dipoles cut for different frequencies, sharing a common
feedline. See below:

"Scott's mind was always full of improved designs. In 1940, he
developed an elaborate 26 tube communications receiver which was
produced in very limited quantities. Known as the Scott Special, this
set was perhaps the last and greatest of his ingenious designs. The
circuitry bore some similarity to the Philharmonic. There were seven
short wave bands (1.7 to 64MHz) and two other ranges from 140 to 395
KHz and 520 to 1710 KHz. This set utilized two separate tuners on the
same chassis, one for the short wave bands and the other for the
broadcast and low frequency bands. The performance of the Scott
Special High Fidelity Communications Receiver was not equaled until
years after World War II."
