Js—— TO(:.ETHER RESULT: MORE TRANSCONTINENTAL TELEPHONE CIRCUITS Willi wire scarce and wartime calls increasing, telephone’engineers made existing pairs of long distance wires carry nearly four times as many calls as before. This was done lb rough installa tion of additional carrier ei|uipmenl,requiring closer spacing of the wires on I In? line and trans positions af shorter intervals. Three pairs on the Southern Transcontinental Route were rearranged, and in a 430-mile section this had to be done while keeping the urgently needed wires in service all the time. To do this, new tools and new methods had to he devised in the laboratories aud on the job.
