Radio Helps to Move a Mountain By E. A. Laport Chief Engineer, RCA International Division Mc .ODERN radio is in the thick of one of the greatest mining operations in history as American enterprise prepares to tote a mountain 2,000 miles to help satisfy the nation's enormous appetite for steel. Playing an important role in the project is the Radio Corporation of America whose communications systems and equipment link the various segments of the operations. After a journey by rail and sea, the first shipload of high-grade iron ore from the fabulous Cerro Bolivar, a mountain of iron in the heart of Venezuela, was delivered in January to the sprawling new Fairless Works of United States Steel at Morrisville, Pa. More will follow to other U. S. Steel plants. In the deposit are an estimated 400,000,000 tons, representing perhaps the greatest single accessible high-grade ore deposit discovered since the opening of the rapidly depleting Mesabi Range in Min- nesota. Exploitation of the supply is being undertaken by the Orinoco Mining Company, a subsidiary of the Steel Corporation. Transforming an isolated prominence on the Vene- zuelan landscape into the starting point of a 2000-mile supply line which leads to mills in the United States has required the skillful application of the most modern engineering and industrial techniques. Included in the plans has been a communications system capable of net- working the scattered points of operation both during construction and after the start of operations. In a region virtually devoid of communications facilities at the start, RCA radio has provided the vast project with a high frequency and microwave network. These facilities keep field units in touch with construc- RAD/O AGE 2?
