The March of Science WARTIME TELEPHONE TRAFFIC PROMOOD l\IUL TI-CHANNEL CIRCUITS As the national war effort reaches its climax, government and industry alike have turned to the telephone to get things done quickly. The urgent need for more long distance facilities has promoted the use of methods of obtaiiling additional voice chan- nels without erecting m·are wires. Several conversations are sent over one pair of wires at the same time, yet they do not inter- fere with one another in the least! grams interfere with one another. Ordinary telephone com•veJra·tioll& are also transmitted at a ~'ra1n1• frequency-one kilocycle. other conversation tnL!UJmittecll through the same higher frequency, it. tenere with the fim tion, any more than one tion interfel!;ll witlt anoU1er ating at a "ilifferent :~:~~~ These high-frequency currents are knoW'Il aa current.<.

The drive Is expected to las.~ two months, Lleut.-CO!. w. w. John- son, district recruiting officer, said. Each of the reserve units in the Toront.o area wm look after at !east one of the twenty-four bureaus, it was explained. Bands and other agencies are expected to be used to stir enthusiasm. Imagine two trains running abreast on a double track rail- road. Then imagine a Ghost Train running between them, using all four tracks! Such a feat is in- conceivable in railroading, but sending three telephone conversa- tions at once over two pairs of wires has been in practice since 1900. Moreover, the "phantom" channel superimposed on the two physical channels not only does not interfere with them, but is it- self a better conductor a f voice currents than they are! This .ap- parent miracle is achieved by in- serting special equipment at the ends of the .two physical circuits. This equipment switches the phantom voice current off the wires at the end of the line to connect with its own telephone. ard pole line, increasing the city of the original 20 to S. ......... ...,.._ nels. On ne'l\' lines, specially Colonel Johnson announced the main bureau at 61 Albert Stree1 would be stepped up with extra faclliUes and personnel so that up. ward of 400 men per day could be handled, instead of the 100 to 150 now being enlisted there. All the bars will be down during the campaign, It was pointed out. Every manor Category .. A .. will be accepted, regardless of civilian ex- perience. This time, It was explained, it L~ not a case of picking and choosing young men of technical skill. The army wants a certain number of men and it wants them quickly. A standard telefhone pole line carries 20 pairs a wires, provid- ing 20 ordinary telephone chan- nels. By superimposing phantom channels on the physical ones. ten more voice paths are pro\'iaed, making a total of 30. Wonderful? The engineers have still more wonders in store! Every radio user knows that a broadcasting station transmits at a certain "frequenc;v". measured in "kilocycles". Stat1ons near one another do not broadcast nt the aame frequency, lest. their pro- signed for the purpose, 68 chan- nels can be pro,;ded on 20 pain of wires. The development of the earrier system illustrates the extenabe and continuous research earrietl out by the telephone indnatry in behalf of better telephone. 8l!r'riee at less coat.

Thus the UltlJIII-·• mission of several convenatioos through one wire bu led to fm~ proYements in the new art of tele- vision, the uses of which open up immense possibilities to the ~ ination. Colonel Johnson also said that every reasonable effort would be made, In case or a rush of men too great for the bureaus to handle on any one day, to prevent disappoint- ed men from out-of-town being turned away at night without food or lodging. The new plan 1s designed t.o allow a hearing as quickly as pos- sible for every would-be recruit. [ No. f of " mit1 />r<P•wl 67 H.
