IIVEIIH TALKS
OVER THE I
CABLE
Dr. Giuseppe Musso, the New York
Inventor, who is in Valdez to submit
his device for telephoning over sub
marine cables to practical tests, has
been able to talk with the operator at
Cordova, the voice passing over the
cable with the same degree of clear
ness as if ordinary telephone wire
for short distances was being used.
The distance between Valdez and Cor
dova over the route by which the
cable is laid is approixmately one
hundred miles.
Dr. Musso was able to converse with
the operator at Seward although the
distance is nearely three times as
great. The operator at Seward in
stantly detected the difference be
tween the voices when Lieut. Dough
erty took Dr. Musso’s place at the
phone. Rr. Musso explained that the
cable between Valdez and Seward was
199 miles in length and that the branch
of the cable from the main line to
Cordova, 69 miles, also had to be con
sidered in making the test, as that
portion of the cable consumed the
vibrations Just the same as the line .
over which he was talking. —Valdez
