The new system was demonstrated to a group of Canadian and American newspapermen. aixty calls were placedg from the speeding train, and the conversation was clear and distinct, like any other telephone conversation.
The process was perfected and manufactured by the chief engineer (Mr J. c. Burkholder) of the Canadian National Railways.
