AIR LINES
EAST MEETS WEST
IN NEW RELAY EVENT
You've heard of the Penn Relays. But
have-you ever heard of a relay where the
hurdles are mountains, the average stride
is thirty miles, and the track stretches
coast to coast?
It's the Bell System's
and it .brings East and West together in
one of the most important events in the
history of communications.
Telephone construction crews have just
recently completed the coast-to-coast
yftatlia system, today, I'ong
Distance calls ride on radio microwaves,
beamed through the air from tower to
tower. And, for the first time, television
programs have been Hashed from coast
to coast.
The new system supplements the thou-
sands of miles of wire cable that already
tie the nation together. It helps make
America's vast communications network
even stronger and more flexible. And it
could hardly happen at a better time. The
demands of defense are heavy and urgent.
HOW WORKS. Microwaves travel in a straight line. So relay
towers are usually built on hilltops and spaced about thirty miles apart. Just as a
runner picks up the baton from another runner; so each tower picks up microwaves
from its neighbor, and with complex electronic equipment amplifies and focuses
them like a searchlight, then beams them accurately at the next tower. And hun-
dreds of Long Distance calls ride the beam at the same time.
