Electric Currents and Early Global Telecommunication Experiments
A 29000 horsepower electric plant is planned on the Catawba river to serve a major suburban railroad. Projects include west coast Attica cable work and a Cape to Australia line. Tests show electric heating costs higher than coal, while large generators prepare for a limestone project in London. A small town’s 24,000 telephone subscribers would rival San Francisco, and a British experiment demonstrates a miniature electric line with carriages traveling 240 miles per hour. Brussels to London telephony and, soon, Budapest to Vienna and Perm to others hint at growing cross continental lines. Berlin may soon link telephonically with Constantinople.
