r.t. ‘ ons of rural electric comuni- |
cation between power line nainten- 1
once crews in the field and their
office. As a part of the study,
they became interested in talking
over the lines themselves and set
to work designing special transmit
ting and receiving equipment for
low vol -ago lines. They accomplish
ed considerable in a short time and
the REA ^arranged with Bell Labora
tories "o*raakc a joint research.
Alto: two years or v;orK the

and telephone communication'via .
KEA-f ii;'need power lines is nov;
possible. However, as Mr. Neal
pointed out in his letter, ’’addition
al development and testing must
precede any commercial insty11a-.
tions."
