"Our company's prime intdfest in micro-wave radiorelay transmission is voice communication," he sald. On routes of heavy circuit concen- tration, such as Toronto to Mon- treal, microwave may well be the economical solution."

Referring to the A illustration, Mr. Young explain. ed how the present Bell tests em- ploy the radiorelay technique by picking up the signal at Font hill and Milton by .means of a parabolic reflector, or. "dish," positioned high on .a tower, and relaying if to the next point. "We know how fo bring tele- vision in" he stated. "Our im- mediate job, and the reason for these. tests, is to find the most effective and most economical Toute. It would appear that the overland route around the lake, is most free = of obstacles, al- though we have mot yet made final selections of relay points. Both the Milton and Fonthill sites are high vantage points on the route, and are within 'sight of each other." Terrific Tower Any attempt to beam a TV show directly over the lake from Buffalo would require build- ing of a 600 ft. tower atop the city's tallest building, he re- vealed.
