Nerve Center of 145,000,000 Words A MIRACLE OF GROWTH IN 25 YEARS Twcnty-fivc years ago, in 1919, R.C.A. Com- munications sent its first radiotelcgraphic mes- sage. Filling a world-wide need, revealed by World War I, over 6,000,000 words were trans- mitted in the first full year of service. Since that first year of service RCAC's trans- oceanic service facilities lia\c been ccMitiniialK expanded and improved. More and more, through these 25 \ears, radio communication has hccn ac- cepted as an invaluable service to the public. Thus in this siKcr anniversary year, despite wartime restrictions, it is expected that a staggering total ol 1 Is,000,000 words, >utirly 23 limes the first year's volume, will have been transmitted. Today, the many millions of words which flow through RCAC circuits are fimdamentally doing a w ar job. They are messages of strategic military importance or words of comforting news from home to the members of our o\ erseas forces. To- morrow, RCAC will continue its steady expan sion—will do its part through efficient communi- cations to bring the world closer together — thus helping to create a better understanding and to preserve a lasting peace among all nations.
