SCISSORS AND PASTE ::
Presidential Train Radio Duplicated In Plane "Sacred Cow”
( "Array and Navy Journal")
During the V-2 rocket tests at White Sands, New Mexico, a special long distance radio teletype set was installed at the Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories at Bradley Beach, N.J. to keep Signal Corps technicians in immediate touch with important scientific devel¬ opments.
The radio set used in this installation is a complete high powered station designed to provide two-way teletype communication by high frequency radio over distances of several thousands of miles. It handles a continuous flow of incoming and outgoing traffic at the same speed as provided by commercial wire circuits, 60 words per minute.
Similar equipment has been used with conspicuous success in two special installations. One such installation was made in the communication car of the communication car of the Presidents train by civilian engineers. Two-way teletype communication was provided at all times, whether the train was in motion or at rest. By connect¬ ing to the War Department Station WAR in Washington, it was possible to reach similar machines anywhere in the world. The train was at times in communication with Guam; Frankfurt, Germany; and Washington while speeding along at 60 miles per hour. After this installation proved satisfactory, a similar installation was initiated for the Presidents private transport plane.
"Ope rat i ons Crossroads" Called A Radi o Triumph
("Jack Gould in "New York Times11]
In "Operation Crossroads", the hour-long documentary con¬ sideration of life in the atomic era, the Columbia Broadcasting System last Tuesday evening (May 28th) expanded the horizon of American radio more than any other single broadcast has done in re¬ cent years. With courage, with Judgment and with responsibility the network performed a service of true greatness to the public. For an evening radio was of age and listening to it was an ennobling and en¬ riching experience.
Here was a demonstration of broadcasting using its vast potential to stimulate on a national scale a greater awareness and understanding of what atomic energy means to each listener. Cast off was radio* s own cloak of indifference and preoccupation with the money marts and donned was the mantle of leadership and vigorous par¬ ticipation in the resolution of mankind’s most pressing problem. "Operation Crossroads" was an exercise in citizenship of significance to more than the world of the kilocycles.
