Airways Communication Service

HE present development of air transport is bringing out its need for adequate communication in much the same manner as the earlier development of railway operations disclosed for that industry the necessity of special communication services if speed and density of traffic were to be obtained with safety. The electric telegraph by a most fortunate coincidence was available just at the time the railways required it; and as the demand for speed became pressing the telephone was perfected. Today the railways of the country, in general, use the telegraph for administrative messages, where a written record is wanted, and use the telephone for despatching, where speed and accuracy are primary requirements.
