The 24 by 40 foot structure has no moving parts, but serves only to reflect waves to a given point much the same as a mir- - ror reflects light. efficient telephone serbe available to Dugway and governmental opas a result of micro-wav- e facilities being placed in service by Mountain States Telephone Company. TOOELE MANAGER B. O. Mclntire said die new service. is scheduled to go into effect October 1st. More than a year of planning and construction have been required on this project Mclntire said die new system will provide Dugway with a diversity of devices. Open wire lines will remain in use, but micro-- ' wave will increase the calling capacity to and from the area. wffi. make it MICROWAVE easier and faster for any person wishing to make a caU throughout the United States.

Thii battery charger convert! 110 A.C volts to 24 D.C volts far use in die microwave terminal. Life expectancy for the batteries is several yean. This carrier terminal demodulates carrier frequencies to voice circuits which are transferred to switching equipment. The message can then be received in voice communications. The entire process takes less than one second. Messages are, in turn, sent from Dugway in die reverse process. . . long-distan- calls. This parabolic antenna located next to die Dugway communications center is capable of sending or receiving micro-wave- s. Messages sent to Dugway are relayed from the passive reflector to this a ruetu re. The antenna conducts the message into a radio bay which converts the frequencies so the message can go to die carrier terminal. It wiU provide alternate circuits in the event of trouble on the land lines presently in use. "THE MICROWAVE serving Dugway are a part of a new system between Salt Lake City and the Nevada border, Mclntire said. Total cost of the project is nearly $600,000. Included among the facilities is a 24 x 40 foot passive reflector located on die knoll near the proving grounds north entrance. The structure is the largest of its kind in the Mountain State's Telephone Companys system and is used to ' reflect microwave signals into the receiving equipment at the Dugway telephone center. Microwaves may be reflected by this means just as a beam of light may be reflected by a 4- NEW FIRST GRADE TEACHER, Mrs. Pamela Harper, instructs her first grade class during a writing exercise.
