Nerve Center of 145,000,000 Words A MIRACLE OF GROWTH IN 25 YEARS Twenty-five years ago, in 1919, R.C.A. Coni- munications sent its first radiotclcgraphic 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 RCACs trans- oceanic scr\ ice facilities ha%c been contlniiallv expanded and improved. More and more, through these 25 years, radio communication has been ac- cepted as an invaluable service to the public. Thus in this silver anniversary year, despite wartime restrictions, it is expected that a staggering total ■fa of I iS,()00,0()0 words, ni\irly 25 times the first year's volume, will ha\e been transmitted. Todaw the many millions of NNords \\ hich flow through RCAC circuits are fundamentally doing a war 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 \\\\\ continue its steady expan sion—will do its part through efficient communi- cations to bring the world closer together — tliiis helping to create a better understanding and to preser\e a lasting peace among all nations.
