"BACK IN THE GOOD old days" (late 1930's) this group of ball players posed a serious threat to all and sundry. They romped all over Millard County enjoying their baseball and providing thrills to fans RegTetably all re rV- IT m ( i i AT&T Openhouse Proves Impassive Approximately 325 Millard County residents were guests of American Telephone and Telgraph Co. at the openhouse held Thursday, June 1, at the microwave station 7 V4 miles outside of Delta. Greeting guests were Plant Manager Man-ager David L. Clark and Plant Super visors Veil R. Coley and Robert J. Sorensen. Guests wore impressed with the amount of electronic equipment housed at the station and the ability abil-ity of the electronic technicians to explain the operations in terms that could be understood by laymen. lay-men. Youngsters were entertained by colored cartoon films while their parents toured the facility. I he amount of equipment now in use at the Delta station is approx imately twice the amount used at the initial opening. Transmitted thru the local station are telephone i calls, television programs and mili tary communications. If ever required, the local station could prove to be self-sustaining as it contains generators for producing pro-ducing power for several days. The generating units are so large that fifty gallons of oil axe used to make an oil change. At the conclusion of the two-hour tour guests were served light refreshments. re-freshments. Editors note: There were two operations that proved to be particularly impressive and interesting. These two opera-tionswere opera-tionswere the CI Alarm area and "how a single telephone call can be transmitted over the same circuit cir-cuit with other calls." Mr. James A. Jarvis, explains the CI Alarm system and Mr. G. LaVar Cox explains ex-plains the other operation. Thanks to both for taking the time to explain ex-plain for the Chronicle the opera tions. CI ALARM James A. Jarvis Delta CI Alarm keeps vigil over 14,000 telephone circuits and 4 tele vision networks simultaneously. To do this job, the alarm center must be manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By use of computers the attendant is able to know if there is a failure in any of the 23 Microwave Stations he watches over, whether it be a Radio Channel Chan-nel failure, Power Plant failure, a blown fuse or an open door. It is then possible to arrange for repair of failed equipment with a minimum mini-mum of delay. Speed is important. Failure of a microwave channel, whether it carries car-ries television or hundreds of telephone tele-phone conversations, make for a lot of unhappy customers. If you can imagine 1,200 people saying, "Oper ator, I've been cut off," or your dis appointment when your call to Aunt Susie is interupted, you begin to understand the need for quick restoration of service on a failed Radio Channel. Becase of the urgency to restore service, there are Restoration Con trol Centers located across the coun try. Delta CI Alarm Center reports to the Restoration Control Office at Denver, Colorado. In the event of failure on a Microwave message channel which does not switch to the regular protection facilities, the CI alarm center notifies the Restor ation Office immediately.. A reroute re-route circuit is then implemented, by having alarm centers connect protection facilities together. The restoration of the service can then be made on a Microwave re-route. At the alarm center there is a display map covered with lines and pegs of many colors. The map helps an alarm operator keep track of 28 technicians in 23 Microwave stations. Co-ordination of repair activities is made easier by this dis play. TELEPHONE CALLS G. LaVar Cox In the first part of the tour, equip ment was shown that transmits 600 or 1860 phone calls simultaneously. simultan-eously. The guests were then intro duced to the multiplex equipment, LMX2, that combines these calls. It was explained that each voice has its own characteristics which would make is possible to identify cord books have been misplaced and children and grandchildren of the players can't really tell for sure if the players were as good ps tales of today have theml On the front row we see (L to r.) Eldon Eliason, Lester Croper, Wel- a person. No two voices have the same characteristics, just as no two persons have the same fingerprints. A person's voice was transmitted to Salt Lake City and then back to Delta where it was displayed pic-torially. pic-torially. With visual aids and display, it was shown how the equipment com bines each single telephone call with others in a series to achieve carrying 600 to 1860 at one time. Part of the equipment demonstra ted was actually carrying service. This equipment is used for making certain that the telephone service is of the highest quality. A proper voice level must be maintained to make each conversation as clear and comfortable as possible. Since restrictions do not permit monitor ing these calls, a pilot is placed on the line which automatically regu lates the level. If the level varies beyond a pre-determined amount, an larm is sounded and manual adjustments then must be made. Efficiency in the Telephone Com pany's work is of great importance. The services provided are made more dependable by the protection that covers the service at all times. Regardless of man-made errors, every effort is made by employees, and thru mechanical means, to insure in-sure reliability. The equipment maintained is the means by which long distance communications are transmitted and the slightest error could affect any phase of commun ications from a Mother's Day call to a red alert at the Strategic Air Command. Kiwanis Internat'l Goverenor Makes Utah Visitation Dr. R. Glenn Reed, Marietta, Ga., President of Kiwanis International, made an official visitation to Utah Monday night at Nephi where he spoke to aproximately 400 guests at a banquet at the Juab Stake Center. Pres. Reed said that he believes that the current policy in Vietnam invites world conflict much more than all-out military attack. He said, "I am for peace, and with this in mind, I believe that the war in Vietnam should be brought to a conclusion as soon as possible. This means complete attack by whatever what-ever means necessary to bring North Vietnam to a stage of surrender sur-render or acquiescence." Dr. Reed said that he believes in collective peacetime bargaining but not to the extent that the rights of the public are subjugated to the desires of a few. "It is a fallacy to say that strikes do not hamper our Vietnam efforts, especially in defense de-fense industries." Representing the Kiawanis of Delta-West Millard Club at the event were Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Munster, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Sperry, and Mir. and Mrs. Bill Bishop.
