WINGED WORDS ARE
WAFTEDOVERGABLE
Operator At Valdez Holds Conversa
tion With Cordova Over Sub
marine Cable.
Unusual excitement prevailed in the
Valdez Signal Corps office yesterday
afternoon when for the first time
winged words came floating over the
submarine cable from the operator In
Cordova, and Dr. Musso, whose genius
wrought the miracle, was heartily
congratulated on the success of his
invention.
Dr. Musso, the inventor, is here sub
mitting his device for the transmis
sion of the human voice over sub
marine cables to a thoroughly practi
cal test. When the receiving appar
atus had been installed in the local
office the operator in Cordova was
notified to attach an ordinary tele
phone to the end of the cable and
for the first time in the history of the
world the human voice was heard
after having passed over more than
one hundred miles of cable resting
on the bottom of the ocean between
Valdez and Cordova. The voice came
clear as a bell when pitched in the
ordinary tone of convesation used io
communicate across the street by
telephone.
Dr. Musso was able to get into
communication with the operator at
Seward this forenoon, but owing to
the instruments not being properly
adjusted the voices were not as clear
as over the cable to Cordova, and
the test is being continued this after
noon.
The fact that the operator in Val
dez was able to talk to Cordova Is
all the more wonderful when it is
considered that a sensitive receiving
instrument was not used, as has been
the case In previous tests.
