TWO HUNDRED AT ONCE
TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS FACILITIES FOR HOUSEHOLDERS. RADIO AND TELEVISION. LONDON, July 25. “The Post Office Department shortly will introduce new telephone cables which will carry 200 conversations simultaneously,” said Sir Macdonald Banks, Director-General of the Post Office. He added that only two conversations were possible with the existing cables. The time was not distant, said Sir Macdonald, when the householder would have a news tape in one corner of a room combined with a television set, demonstrating current happenings. Another corner would contain a radio telephone. All would be worked bjf' the same wire.
The speaker also foreshadowed a reduction in overseas telephone rates and a two-days’ air mail to America.
