Army to consolidate wire communications into single network
The War Department announced a new army command and administrative network to coordinate and conserve materials, wire facilities, and manpower. The system, under the Army Communications Service of the Signal Corps led by Brig Gen Frank Stoner, will replace many separate lines, create 25 message centers with army service commands and 15 additional sites near key installations, and eventually shift continental US traffic from the radio network to the consolidated system while preserving specialized traffic with other branches.
