Smillie, Bell Telephone representative, will give a de- monstration talk entitled "High- ways of Sound" to a meeting of the Central Ontario Cattle Breeders Assoc'n, Ont. County Branch at Manchester on March 12,-1964 at 2.00 p:m. Making use of a variety of interesting demonstration devi- ces ,this talk reviews the story of transmission, beginning with the invention of the telephone itself, progressing through the earliest stages of simple iron wiring systems, multiple cables, and the varoius line-sharing methods which have been de- |] veloped over the years. Mr. Smillie will explain and demonstrate such things as un- derseas cable, the continent- spanning microwave system, the tropospheric scatter method of communication which links our far north with the rest of the world; and even such develop- ments as world-wide satellite communications, and the latest researches by telephone scien- tists in their attempts to har- ness light waves as a means of transmision. This talk is layman centered and promises a fascinating half- hour for any audience--young and old alike.
