Big Developments In Cable Communication
LONDON, October 13. Far-reaching developments in the cable system of long-distance communications were predicted by Colonel Sir Stanley Angwin, chairman of Cable and Wireless, Ltd, in a speech today. Dealing with overcrowding on radio waves, he said: “The time is approaching when it may be necessary to exclude from the ether services capable of being conducted by other means. I believe the tendency will be to put an increasing proportion of international telegraph traffic into the cables. “The development of" a satisfactory deep sea repeater, capable of withstanding the high pressures of great depths of water for long periods, is now proceeding. By using the most modern type of cable ,augmented by submarine repeaters, we believe it may be possible to obtain upwards of 50 simultaneous channels of communication on one cable.”
