L It is planned to provide addition al transatlantic telephone circuits; to supplement the present voice ! channel and to care for the increas i ing popularity of the existing trans • oceanic service. During the first ! eight months of 11)28 the number of calls completed over the presenf circuit between America and Eu ! rope represented an increase of 300 ■ per cent over the same eight J months nf 1927. A tract of land comprising ap -1 proximately SDO acres has been as r mbled by purchase and lease sev- I cj mil'js north of Trenton, N. J. ! Her 0 it is planned to begin con | crvueri ;n at an early date of short t wave transmitting stations, which. f together with receiving stations j completed or planned by the Amer ican' Telephone and Telegraph I Company at Neteong, N. J., and similar install?tions in Great Brit ain, will provide three additional circuits for transatlantic calls. Si'facient property has been secur ed to provide for possible future expansions, including a circuit to South America. The entire tract is composed of level farm land lying in Hopewell and Lawrence town j ships, one mile northwest of Law renceville and five miles west of i Princeton. Construction will be started ! shortly on an antenna system 4,500 j feet long, which will be divided into three short wave transmitting units. Two buildings will be re quired to house the necessary pow -1 er and transmitting equipment. The location of a tract for short I wave transmitting was determined after extensive tests for the pur pose of ascertaining the conditions necessary for the best transmis sion In addition it was desired to locate the station as near as prac ticable to New York City, taking such factors into account.
