FROM INTER-OFFICE TO OUTER SPACE...
The telephone rings. You lift it and talk to an associate in the next office.
A countdown reaches zero at Cape Canaveral. Minutes later a new satellite radios its position . . . in orbit a hemisphere away.
One of these events is today commonplace . . . the other, still spectacular. To the 128,000 men and women of International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, both are episodes in a never-ending drama called communications.
It means many things
At ITT communications is submarine cable, radio-telegraph, microwaves beamed over valleys and seas. At the world's great airports, it is the Instrument Landing System.
It is TACAN and VORTAC, electronic air-navigation safety aids for civil and military flying.
Communications is guidance systems for rockets and missiles. It is over-the-horizon TV. It is the technical training and manpower ITT provides for the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line in the Arctic. It is a new, world-wide control system for the Strategic Air Command.
Where ITT stands today
ITT stands in the forefront of research . . . and on the threshold of new achievements. Its systems, equipment and services embrace virtually every field of electronics. In fact, you'll find ITT everywhere— from inter-office to outer space.
. . . the largest American-owned world-wide electronic and telecommunication enterprise, with 80 research and manufacturing units, 14 telephone and telegraph operating companies and 128,000 employees.
