METHODS OF COMMUNICATION. NEW BRITISH TELEPHONE CABLE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7 p.m. 'London, July 25. “The British Post Office will shortly introduce new telephone cables which will carry 200 conversations simultaneously,” declared Sir Donald Banks, Dir-ector-General of the Post Office, to-day. Only two conversations were possible on the existing cables, he added. The time was not distant when the householder would have a news tape in the corner of a room combined with a television set to illustrate current happenings. Another corner would contain a radio telephone. All would be worked on the same wire.
Sir Donald also foreshadowed a reduction in overseas telephone rates and a two days’ air mail service between England and America.
