Another of the intcrnaiinmil roiniiuinications projects successfully engineered by RCA International Division How a radio-directed engineering marvel provided "happy motoring" for the citizens of Bogota, Colombia . . . 8,600 feet up in the Andes In spite of government and industry efforts to make gasoline available in Bogota, Colombia, often it was scarce. Deliveries by road and railway were often interrupted by flash floods along the rugged routes climbing to the mile-and-a-half-high capital. The Department of Cundinamarca, the State in which the City of Bogota is located, had an idea —a direct 150- kilometer pipeline from the oil tank farm, across jungle and stream, up the great Andean walls to Bogota. A magnificent engineering concept, it presented great obstacles. But it was done —through co-operation of petroleum, construction and radio organizations. BCA radio is the nerve system of this engineering triumph. The VHF- FM radio relay system provides in- stant 2-way voice and Teletype com- munication between the tank farm and Bogota, and intermediate points. l^CA International Division's world- wide organization functioned here as it does on similar assignments. RCA engineers, working with Williams Brothers Corp., international builders, designed and supervised the radio installations for "oil well in the skv." It's happy motoring now in Bogota. Oil, gasoline and kerosene flow swiftly, World leader in radio, first in economically, and surely up the ridges, dispatched by dependable RCA radio . . . the aid of industry and government, the friend of the family everywhere. RCA products and services are avaihdjle in all world markets open to trade, through RCA distributors and associated companies. The neiv book '"Communications, Key to Progress" tells the inspiring story of radio at work in many countries. Simply write to RCA International Division, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, N.
