In a typical optical arrangement (see diagram), sound waves entering a telephone microphone are converted into electrical signals. These signals pass through an encoder, which converts them into electrical pulses that switch a laser on and off, interrupting a light beam being sent into the end of a fiber. The light thus travels in a series of pulses, not unlike Morse code, that race along the glass "wire...

Each may have some reference point in the rink-a pillar or sign-to help line up the dimensions of the figure, but the only reliable road maps are images programmed into sinew and synapses through years of etching the pattern in outlines of frost...
...chart at the left could be a diagram of a complicated computer's electronic circuitry. Or the schematic plan of a vast railway network. In fact it is just a glimpse of the programs run by a single division of a huge federal department-Health, Education and Welfare...
