American Telephone & Telegraph, Western Union and Postal Telegraph rushed armies of troubleshooters into the field to unscramble their wrecked wires and poles. After 24 hours A. T. & T. reported more than 351,000 telephones still dead. Newspaper plants were awash; broadcasting stations went silent for lack of power as operators scampered to higher ground (see p. 59). Hampered in their movements, forced to guess wildly at the extent of death and damage, overwhelmed newshawks sent reports marked by the breadth and sweep of war dispatches...
...Greek Royalists from recalling King George II. He lost, and the world Press wrote his political obituary. This had to be scrapped when Venizelists won the Greek general elections two months ago, and it appeared that old "Liberty" was still in the thick of Greek politics, by mail and telegraph.

Pipe. Promise of solving the distance problem lies in the "coaxial cable" developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories of American Telephone & Telegraph Co. Consisting essentially of a pair of copper tubes with a bare wire running through the centre of each, this cable can transmit 240 telephone messages or 20 to 40 telegrams simultaneously and was primarily designed for such purposes. But it can also handle a radio frequency band 1,000,000 cycles wide-enough to carry the fluctuating light & shadow of television. The possibility therefore arose of "piping" television from city to city underground. A. T. & T. applied...
