According tg. the November issue of "The Blue Bell", Bell Telephone's employees' magazine, members of the company's special contract department | have set up the world's first full-scale installation of "tropospheric i vod microwave transmission equipment. With this installation an accamplished fact, Bell's special contract people are "now devoting their energies largely to the Mid-Canada Line, : In this new and advanced concept of over-the-horizon radio relay transmis- sion, antennae resembling giant dish- es are used for gathering in the tiny microwaves, rE Before the development of over-the- horizon microwaves transmission, mi- crowaye towers had to be located with- in line-of-sight--or not more than 30 miles apart--because microwaves do not follow the earth's curvature, and tend to eventually diffuse into space: ea] SEY Sh of On the new "tropospheric scatter" installation, however, Bell crews were able to locate their antennae many times. more_than the conventional -39; miles apart, because engineers had discovered-that, given sufficient pow-. er, the microwaves tend to bounce back to earth again in little- pieces. The huge dishes can collect enough of these pieces to produce an effective -signal--hence the term "scatter". The voice channels used on this type of installation are so high-grade that two people located a thousand miles apart could converse as though they were in the same room. "Thig construction job was no mean challenge," the Blue Bell article dis- closes. "The over-the-horizon trans- mission principle had been tried out on. small test links set up_in the gouthern United States and in our own country. But no one could fore- see all the difficulties ahead in setting up and maintaining a high fidelity radio communication system in the frozen north, 'When plans for the project were drawn up, swift decisions had to be made on slim facts, because our people: _ had little to go on other than the pre- / cise paper calculations of the experts, Bulky, book-size files of detailed spe- cifications had fo be drawn up; double- checked, transformed -into factory- built equipment and transported to - the scene of operations in the north. "Buildings and tower structures had to be completely designed, with the aid of consultants, translated into ma- _ terials, transported by sea and air to Wig northern bases, and erected by sub- contractors. Shortly after they had received thelr. contract, the spécial contract people had moved $10,000,000 worth of construction materials and equipment into the north and were busy setting it up. To get it up there . they had the European marked geoured for ships available for chartering. - They used everything from the d'Iber- ville, pride of the Government's fce- breaker fleet, to small sealers and Tanding craft, and from flying boxears to helicopters." "The Bell Company's special contract department is a top-level contractor in defence communications and associ- ated construction for the Trans-Can- ada Telephone System and the Gov- ernment of Canada. Its personnel consists mainly of technicinns and _ engineers recruited from within the Bell, from other tele- | phone companies, or from outside in- dustry, They operate over a sweep of territory stretching from Baffinland- and Greenland to the broders of Bric tish Columbia. - ¥ World Brotherhood In Song The members of the United Church Choirs presented a most enjoyable pro- gram last week in the Public School Auditorium.
