TELECOMMUNICATION satellites, PROJECT Telstar, DATA transmission systems
Abstract
The article reports on the test conducted by American Telephone & Telegraph co. (AT&T) and Burroughs Corp. regarding the feasibility of Telstar satellite to transmit computer data. It states that a resolved defense problem on D-825 computer of Burroughs was to transmit to the antenna of AT&T in Andover, Maine that would beam the message to Telstar. However, an unknown interference came out of the machine ruining the smooth message and movement of the paper which will be further studied.
IMAGE transmission, DATA transmission systems, PRINTING presses, FAX transmission
Abstract
The article features the radio newspaper industry in the U.S. which is confident that it can surpass the obstacles related to the transatlantic process of transmitting data in 1937. It mentions that the technique of the recording of images and adapting radio to the transmission is at least 12 years old, however, the development of printing-press gadget is possible through experimentation. The author states that the transatlantic systems that are used by the industry for reproducing photos cost two U.S. dollars per square inch of a picture transmitted.
DATA transmission systems, TELECOMMUNICATION systems
Abstract
The article offers information on the Videovoice device that will be marketed by RCA Global Communications Inc. in September 1971. The device transmits still pictures of live scenes and allows businessmen to flash views of themselves and their products. According to president Howard Hawkins, the equipment for two locations should rent about 600 U.S. dollars per month. Meanwhile, Picturephone from AT&T requires a bandwidth more than 300 times greater.
MICROWAVE communication systems, DATA transmission systems
Abstract
The article offers information on the plan of Texan computer salesman Sy Joffe to develop Datran, a 400-million dollars nationwide microwave network for data transmission. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has studied Joffe's proposal for the past 18 months. It is said that there are challenges to Datran's plan of casting its data communications net over the country, despite optimism of Joffe, who is now the vice chairman of Data Transmission Co.
AUTOMATION, COMPUTER industry, PRODUCTION scheduling, INVENTORY accounting, INVENTORY control, DATA transmission systems, TELEPHONE lines
Abstract
The article discusses the next goal of computer industry which is to acquire centralized control of all stages of production in the U.S. It focuses on the progress of computer services which have broadened the scope of control from automated accounting to inventory control and production scheduling. Data Communication networks or systems are addressing the procedures for control links with manufacturing operations thus facilitate on the transmission of data through telephone lines.
COMPUTER systems, MAGNETIC tapes, DATA transmission systems
Abstract
The article features several systems that speed up transmission between computer centers, including the Magnetic Tape Terminals from Radio Corp. of America, the DEFT system from the General Dynamics/Electronics Division of General Dynamics Corp. and the IBM 1945 from International Business Machines Corp.
ELECTRON tubes, IMAGE transmission, LONG distance telephone service, TELEPHONE systems, DATA transmission systems
Abstract
The article reports on the rising popularity of electron tubes in U.S. industries. It highlights some of the useful contributions of the tubes including its use in modern sound pictures, long distance telephony and picture transmission. It also features its uses in the general industry and science including automatic production processes in factories, the self-leveling of elevators, and in heart therapy. It also describes its contributions to peacekeeping and law-and-order situations.
TELECOMMUNICATION satellites, TELECOMMUNICATION systems -- Design & construction, DATA transmission systems, TELEPHONE transmission
Abstract
The article reports on Telesat, the first communications satellite system that will be operated by Canada in which it would broadcast telephone and communications services throughout the nation. It states that the Canadian system is being developed carefully to prevent any type of legislative complications which hinders the plans of the U.S. to develop a domestic satellite system. It says that Telesat would offer various channels and ground lines needed for data and telephone transmission.
