Phone: Long Beach 670-316 Collect Great 1947 SERVEL GAS REFRIGERATOR The first transcontinental coaxial telephone cable—the cable that is capable of carrying hundreds of telephone conversations and television broadcasts in its eight pencil-sized tubes—is on the home-stretch of its nation-spanning journey from New York to Los Angeles. When the 236-mile California crossing now under way is completed late this year and the coaxial system ties-in to The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company's new 10-story building on Grand avenue in Los Angeles, southern California and the west coast will have at their command many more high-quality long distance telephone circuits. Not only will the eight coaxial tubes in one cable about the diameter of a baseball bat be able to carry a tremendous number of simultaneous conversations, but they will be equally adept in carrying the broad frequency bands of television broadcasts. With present equipment and spacing of the amplifiers, each coaxial tube is capable of carrying a 3,000,000 cycle band. This means that 600 simultaneous telephone conversations or two television programs may be carried by two of the eight tubes. The high quality telephone circuits provided by the coaxial system will be able to take care of all kinds of special jobs of communications such as providing leased circuits for wire-photos, press services, Army and Navy private lines, radio network grams in addition to regular distance telephone circuits and television programs. Telephone men, Western Electric company installation for and outside forces working contract are moving into the phases of the $7,500,000 California project. The last reels of cable are being pulled into underground duct, sections are being split equipment is being installed the terminal building and in 31 stations along the south California route, and testing has been started. The first circuits expected to be ready in November. MODERN WONDER The coaxial cable is one of modern wonders of communications. But the theory of using coaxial conductor for electric currents is not new. Its application to telephone circuits and vision transmission is relatively new. The word itself gives away a secret of its characteristics—a axial, two “wires” with the same axis. The inside wire is about the width of the lead in a pencil. The owl “wire” is actually a copper tube around the inner wire. The inside wire is suspended in the center of the tube by means of insulating disks at inch intervals. The simple telephone circuit requires one pair of wires.

Marines to Hold Air Maneuvers At El Toro Base On the morning of September 8th, Marine Air Reserve officers and enlisted men, members of Marine Fighting Squadrons 123 and 241 and Marine Ground Control Intercept Squadron 18, stationed at the Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos, will depart September 8 for El Toro Marine Corps Air Station for a two-week maneuver. The officers and men from Los Alamitos will join other Marine Air Reserve contingents from cities in the Western United States. Lieutenant Colonel R. J. Morrell, Jr., USMC, commanding officer of the Marine Air Detachment, Naval Air Station, Los Alamitos, states that a full training syllabus has been arranged, and that the officers and men will receive instruction in the latest fighter tactics, bombing, and aircraft maintenance. Lectures by authorities on guided missiles and aircraft engineering will be included. Close ground support problems will be held with regular Marine units at Camp Pendleton during the maneuver. GREET DAUGHTER A baby daughter was welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Willard Swank of 522 South Citron street, Monday. She arrived in the Fullerton hospital. NEW GARDEN GROVER Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Aguillere of Route I, Box 96, Garden Grove, greeted a new son, Saturday. Tipping the scales at seven pounds, he arrived in Santa Ana Community hospital. Army Seeks WAC Re-Enlistments Former members of the Wens’ Army Corps have until midnight of September 30 to enlist that unit of the Army of the United States, according to a Department directive just received by Col. Leslie W. Jefferson commanding the southern California Recruiting District at MacArthur. According to 1st Lieut. Edward F. Tully, in charge of the U.S. Army Air Force Recruiting站 at City Hall, Room 109, Fuller former Wacs who served as medical technicians, X-ray specialists, stenographers and clerical typists are particularly sought after enlistment in the corps at time. He said he would be glad furnish complete information regarding WAC enlistment to all interested persons who contact him at his local office. Special Awards For 4-H Clubbers At State Fair Special awards and trophies for 4-H Club and Future Farmers participating in the livestock exhibits at the California State Fair have been announced by Safeway Stores. The awards may be in addition to the $18,500 premiums offered individual boys and girls by the State Fair, which is to be held in Sacramento, CA, gust 28 through September 7. A silver tray has been listed the special award for the best exhibit in the stock parade, with clock as the master trophy for group who has never before won the master trophy. The Anaheim Gazette since PHONE CABLE NEARS COAST: WILL ADD 25% MORE CIRCUITS TO EAST now crossing the state were to be used to its maximum, 2,400 new telephone conversations could be carried simultaneously. With the equipment to be used and with the present spacing of the repeater (amplifying) stations along the route, the working maximum has been limited to 480 transcontinental telephone conversations per pair of tubes. Initially enough equipment will be provided for the activating of 252 circuits on two tubes. Two other tubes will be energized on a "stand-by" basis. Automatic switching to the stand-by tubes in case of failure of the working tubes would be so rapid that a listener wouldn't notice the change. The other four tubes will be placed in service as soon as needed. 25 PERCENT MORE CIRCUITS The 252 long distance circuits to points east will represent about a 25 percent increase in the number of transcontinental circuits now serving this area. Equipment for still more circuits has been ordered, and these circuits will be activated at a later date. In the meantime further studies are being made and more development work is being done on the application of television program transmission on a plan similar to the present transmission of network radio programs across the country from the originating point to the hundreds of stations that actually put the program on the air in their own areas. In the California crossing the cable was buried from six to eight feet beneath the surface of the ground in the section from the Gigging Is No A Gag Say Anglers Gigging, the delicate and ing frog legs on the juvenile likened by many skins the mythical snipe hunter for its repercussions.

The last reels of cable are be-bulled into underground conductions are being spliced, cement is being installed in terminal building and in the stations along the southern California route, and testing has started. The first circuits are tested to be ready in November. EERN WONDER The coaxial cable is one of the warm wonders of communica-tion. But the theory of using a special conductor for electrical transmissions is not new. Its applica-tion to telephone circuits and tele-communication is relatively new word itself gives away the nature of its characteristics—co-ordination two "wires" with the same inside wire is about the size load in a pencil. The outer "wire" is actually a copper tube and the inner wire. The inner wire is suspended in the center tube by means of insulat-isks at inch intervals. The simple telephone circuit consists one pair of wires. A long distance circuit employs two pairs of wires—one pair for talking in each direction. The coaxial tubes are also used in pairs—one tube for talking in each direction. By use of the "carrier" principle as many as 600 two-way conversations may be transmitted on a pair of coaxial tubes. The "carrier" principle is the taking of the normal voice frequency band and stepping it up, with elaborate equipment, to some selected higher band for transmission. HOW IT WORKS The voice band with present ordinary telephone wires is now stepped up to as many as 12 different positions on the frequency scale. With coaxial transmission this same voice frequency band may be stepped up to 600 different frequencies for transmission. Of course, at the other end of the system, it must be stepped down again before being routed to the called party. Carrier is something like radio broadcasting. Each radio station has its own frequency—but all radio stations use the same conductor (the air) to reach each radio's antenna. In carrier transmission the conductor is the two pairs of "wires" or two coaxial tubes; the "radio stations" are the various units of equipment at the terminal points. Each "station" uses the same conductor and sends its transmissions on its own assigned frequency. If the eight-tube coaxial cable is being made and more development work is being done on the application of television program transmission on a plan similar to the present transmission of network radio programs across the country from the originating point to the hundreds of stations that actually put the program on the air in their own areas. In the California crossing the cable was buried from six to eight feet beneath the surface of the ground in the section from the Colorado river to Whitewater. This depth was used to protect the cable from "flash floods." PROTECTIVE MEASURES Protection from rodents, particularly gophers that nibble the lead sheath from the cable, is provided by a corrugated copper sleeve covering. This also affords protection from lightning. High quality transmission, especially for television programs, requires nearly constant temperature of the conductors. This requirement was met by the depth at which the cable was placed and by special construction and insulation of the small huts that house the amplifying equipment along the route. In crossing the Colorado river two submarine cables were buried in the river bed using very heavy cable designed for rugged abuse. One cable is a "stand-by." In crossing the two earthquake faults along the California route telephone engineers made every effort to prevent interruption in the cables by having the cables cross at sharp angles, using very heavy cables, and by placing lots of slack in the cables so that they would be free to move without snapping. The entire cable will be under pressure (nitrogen gas) to help keep moisture out and also to operate an alarm system in case of a leak. From Whitewater into Los Angeles the coaxial cable travels in existing underground conduit used for regular toll cables now in use. Insecticide More Potent Than DDT Is Announced An insect poison four potent as DDT against cepes sects is being announced by States Rubber company. Extensive laboratory tests show it is particularly potent such household roaches, ants, moths, and beetles. Job printing.

Gigging Is Not A Gag Say Anglers Gigging, the delicate art of nabbing frog legs on the jump, has been likened by many skeptics to the mythical snipe hunt, famed for its repercussions. Gigging is not a gag. One goes gigging with a gig (fish spear or harpoon) and only the frogs get stuck. Enthusastic anglers go diving, practically, for respectable specimens: Foot-long frogs have been caught by such experts as Nick Wingert, owner of the Anaheim Auto Glass and Marine Sports company, and Pete Wisser of Wisser Sporting Goods store. Encouraged by the new moon, the duo were gigging at Hodge's reservoir, San Diego county, last Friday. Condition of the moon is important when gigging, they explain, since frogs can see and, therefore, jump too well in bright moonlight. Gigging results in an epicurean treat succulent and tender as spring chicken breast, gourmets say. W. Wade Parker Funeral Friday Funeral services for W.
