“We’ll be bringing Television” “We in the Bell System now furnish the net¬ works for radio broadcasting and we’ll be on the job with networks for the transmission of television, too. “For nearly a quarter of a century we have kept pace with the radio broadcasting in¬ dustry, supplying network facilities where they were needed at the time they were wanted. We have acquired a wealth of ex¬ perience and skill in the minute-to-minute operation of these program networks. “As the television picture unfolds, our func¬ tion will be to transmit sight and sound B £ programs from place to place. We can do it over wire lines, coaxial cables, radio or com¬ binations of these. “We have made considerable progress in ex¬ tending our coaxial cable system, which is particularly adapted to television, and we in¬ tend to develop it rapidly toward a nation¬ wide coaxial network. Micro-wave radio-relay is another way we will have to carry television programs. “We intend to use the best, most depend¬ able and most economical means possible to meet the transmission needs of television.” LL TELEPHONE SYSTEM 1
