Distant early warning line for defense
now being built by Bell Telephone System
Far up in the frozen north-clear across the
top of North America-there's a new air-raid
warning line under construction.
It is being built by Bell System research. manufacturing
and operating specialists at the request
of the United States and Canadian governments.
It is a vital and challenging task. Much of
the electronic equipment has had to be specially
developed. All of the equipment. materials. food,
fuel and personnel have to be transported thousands
of miles by land. sea and air to the trackless
wastes of the Arctic. Years of work are being
crammed into months of time.
The design and development of equipment for
the warning line is the work of Bell Telephone
Laboratories, the Lincoln Laboratory at M.I.T.
and Canadian scientists.
Western Electric, the Bell System's manufacturing
and supply unit, did the planning, engineering
and construction of a preliminary pilot
project. It is now doing the same over-all job
for the new extended line from Alaska across
northern Canada. in close co-operation with defense
forces and other governmental departments.
The Bell System's ability to meet emergencies
of this kind when called upon by the Government
is made possible by its research. manufacturing
and operating units working together as a team.
The DEW line is one of many projects in
which this teamwork is helping in defense.

Local to serve the community. Nationwide to serve the nation.
