Abstract :
By the end of this year the Bell System expects to have 2,000 miles of its coaxial-cable network manufactured and at least three fourths of this mileage in the ground, according to a recent announcement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. By the end of this year the cable crews on the new all-cable route to the West Coast are scheduled to be in the vicinity of Fort Worth and Dallas, halfway across the continent. The aim is to reach Los Angeles in the spring of 1947. One year ago the company announced a five-year coaxial-cable program involving 6,000 to 7,000 route-miles of construction.
