Coaxial Cables and Television Transmission

Communication techniques and facilities useful to the entertainment industry have evolved naturally from the Telephone Companies' main objective—the transmission of speech. The development of carrier systems for long-distance transmission and technical features involved in the latest carrier medium—the coaxial cable—are reviewed. The television transmission capabilities of this medium, both now and what may be expected shortly after the war, are mentioned. The extensive system of such cables planned for the next 5 years, supplemented by radio relay systems to the extent that these prove themselves as a part of a communications network, will provide an excellent beginning for a nation-wide television transmission network. Planned primarily to meet telephone requirements, this network of cables will be suitable to meet the transmission needs of the television industry.
