Linking Broadcast Stations

New Cable System NEW cable system for linking broadcasting stations to permit them to render musical notes more faithfully over a wider range of frequencies is being laid down in America. With a test circujt of 2200 miles in length already operating successfully between New York and Pittsburg, the new system will be extended as rapidly as possible to embrace all of the 35,000 miles of telephonic lines utilised to link radio stations into networks for programmes of common origin. Where the frequency range in present radio telephone lines is around 150-5000 cycles, the new cable will widen this to 50-8000 cycles. | Broadcast cable developments may also be expected in Great Britain in the near future. The Post Office is. collaborating with the B.B.C. in the substitution of underground cables to replace all the overhead lines still used for broadcasting purposes.
