to span the Atlantic between

and from there to the United
States over a 575-mile radio
relay system.
The project is a joint under
taking of American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, the
British Post Office and Cana
dian Overseas Telecommunica
tion Corporation and will cost
about $40,000,000. Service will
be established late in 1956.

Furniture Covers
Made of Terry
New for lawn furniture this I
summer are “terry toppers.”
Thick, fluffy terry cloth is
used in a group of covers for
lawn furniture cushions. With
plasticized binding and mitered
corners, the terry cloth covers
fits smoothly over a chaise
lounge or other cushions.
In addition to the lawn furni
ture covers, the cotton terry is
also made up as an auto seat
topper for summer. These top
pers are custom fit for the front
seat of any car. Elastic gores
and adjustable tapes make it
easy to install and remove.
The terry toppers, which come
in several solid colors, can be
washed with ease a
first cable of a twin cable sys
tem would be spun out across
2,000 miles of ocean bottom by
summer’s end. Summer is the
only time the Atlantic is calm
enough to permit such an un
dertaking.
The transatlantic cables and
♦he Newfoundland-Nova Scotia
cable will be laid by HMTS
Monarch.
A radio relay route, connect
ing with the cable, will pass
within sight of the grave and
former home of Alexander Gra
ham Bell, inventor of the tele
phone.
Each of the transatlantic cables
will be equipped to transmit
speech in one direction. Thus
voices from New York will
travel eastward over one cable
and voices from London will
be carried westward over the
second cable. The system will
be able to carry 36 conversations
at the same time, almost trip
l.ng the present radiotelephone
capacity between the U. S. and
Great Britain.
