Commonwealth Tele- phone Company is making national and international headlines these days. And the source of all this attention is something no thicker than a human hair. Last year Common- wealth Telephone Company installed a 13.5 mile span of fiber optic cable between Mansfield and Wellsboro, two of the telephone utility's ex- changes located in North- central Pennsylvania. With that installation, Wellsboro became the first town in America to put a commercial fiber optic telephone system into everyday use. Optical fibers are threads of ultra pure glass as thin as a human hair. Over them, telephone signals can be trans- mitted by laser light. Commonwealth's system has the ability to carry 672 simultaneous conversa- tions over two glass fibers. Today advertisements by ITT, the equipment manufacturer, announ- cing this first are appear- ing in national magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Forbes and Fortune. A 30- second television com- mercial has also been broadcast on NBC Nightly News and weekend sporting events. The commerical’s plot centers around a class tour of Wellsboro’s land- marks. While the children are touring, Common- wealth Telephone workers are fitting and splicing fiber optic cables, creating a theme of “looking at past history while history is being made.’’ A professional actress plays the teacher or = and students were selected from Wellsboro’s Gill Elementary Schoel Wellsboro was an id¢fy. location for a field trial of fiber optics. The Tiega County town experierices severe winter storms and equally rough summer weather. Wellsboro’s terrain demanded diversified cable handling ranging from cable buzied in farmers’ fields to pole to pole lashing on existing cable, as well as under- ground ducts. . Fiber optic technology is not new. It has its rots in 19th Century England with the discovery : by physicist John Tyndall that light was guided along an arc by a stréam of water. : Today, fiber optic technology enables rhan to harness light in a filament of glass as: thin as a hair and use that light to carry literdlly thousands of voice messages simultaneo- usly. Commonwealth’s system of 672 voice channels represents capacity of 45-million information bits per second. Such capacity could transmit the entire contents of the Bible] in less than one second. * In addition to carrying far more telephgne conversations than conventional copper lines, fiber optic cables are less expensive and they arén’t subject to noise inter- ference from nearby power lines, as copper lines are. : All of this just goes: to prove that ‘‘the biggest thing in Wellsboro’s a ¢ « <¢ ( 7) LE LI ] FAY J | PRESENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME ODRESSES SUITS eBLAZERS BY SASSON a VISA = — SX : EYNON PLAZA, ROUTE 6, EYNON, PA.
