Re stated that he was quite at home as lie was well used to hearing the Lions Roar in his travels, Many service Clubs had been, visited with their demonstration, , He said that bis address might be entitled "The Tele- phone is at War". communications were vital in wartime, "The Charge of the Light - Brigade" might never have happened had the Modern com- munication systems been available. He traced the transmission of signals back to the primitive times when smoke was used, Explanations were given of the manner in which tanks, trucks etc" were able to communicate with each ,other through numerous' channels controlled' by small highly finished crystals. Some war machines had as high as 80 channels available and each could carry an independent message without interference from the others. Radar and radio telephone equipment were essential with the modern bomber. During the first 21 days of the In- vasion in Italy over 25Q miles of wire was laid every day. The demand for equipment was continuous and increas- ing. Signals equipment piOduced in Canada before the war was valued at $16,000,000. Last year this had grown to over $200,000,000 in value. Equip- ment was being Supplied to Britain, Russia, China, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Some to the United States, New equipment was devoted 100%-to war effort, The Bell Telephone Com- pany had to get along on what equip- ment they had before the war. Much equipment had been reconditioned but now they were scraping the bottom of the . barrel. The shortage will likely continue after the war as it will take some time to convert to peacetime needs. He felt that the small electri- cal appliances 'would be first available such as vacuum 'cleaners, irons, etc,, these only required to be plugged in, The telephone was much more oomph- cated and would need connection to an exchange. He closed his address with the statement 'The Telephone is at War".
