Anyone in Sayville or for that matter in any part of New York State or
Northern New Jersey, may pla ce a
ca ll from his telephone to any telephone in metropolit an London.
The
com plete circuit going and coming
whic h is provided for this purpose
consists of a union of about 50 miles
of wire line and 6,300 miles of other
pa th.
Calls for London originating locally
are handled over the regula r telephone circuits to th e long distance

Telegra ph Company at Walker street .
New York. At this point equipment
is provided to separate the transmission towar d London fro m tha t received from London.
Eas t-b ound
transmission is carried by telephone
lines to the radio transmitting station
nt Rocky Point. Long Island, thence
by radio to the receiving statio n at
Wrough ton , England. From Wr oughton the transmission pas ses by wire
i>- 1uphony to the long distance office
cf the General Post Office long distance building the calls are handl ed
over the ordinary telephone pla nt to
tho London subscriber.
Wes t-bound, the transmission fro m
the London subscriber , which roaches
the London lon g distance office over
the regular wire plant nml is there
segregate d from the east-bound trans mi tting station at Rugby , from which
it proceeds by radio to iho receiving
sta tion at Houlton , Maine.
Prom
Houlton to New
York ,
as from
Wrou ghton to Loudon, the received
transmission Is handled over telephone lines. At the New York long
distance ofllce It passes through the
combining. n p|iaruis and than over a
re gular telephone circuit to the local
subscriber.
The radio transmission both east
and woat-bound are on tho same wave
len gth, of approximately 5,000 meters ,
or 60 kiloc ycles. This Is the wave
len gth which long experience through
man y years of experimentation has
Indicated as bein g tho moat satisfactory and reliable which the present
state of tho radio art makes available
tar this transmission. The choice ot
tills wave len gth was agreed to by
the en gineers of the American Telephone and Tnlegruph Company and
tlio British Post Office as bein g the
one moat suitable In the Initial transoceanic telephone channel .
As la well kno wn, radio transmission of every kind and on every , wave
len gth Is subject to errati c Disturbances and Interruptions which render It
materially less re liable than tolaphone
or telegraph transmission over wires.
Experience shows howeve r that widely
