Transatlantic Cable Serves 36 Conversations New York -(Science Serv f SAFEWAY fly n ice)- The new transatlantic telephone cable system that joes Into service today evill carry the voices of 6 persons at once over a thin wire only 13100ths of an inch tMcK? The deep-sea portftn of the system consists of t&o cables, each Cpanrng the 2,200-mile distance frorO Clarenville, NewfoiHidland, to Penmarch, Frare. One cable carriqg speech of 36 persons going to Europe, and fre other cebte carries the same amaunt ecSa 0 ing from Europe.

The new cable system al most exactly duplicates one system already linking the two continents. The f&st sfr tern, which coes to Scotland. was laid during 1955 arid 1956. The new systejn was laid entirely this year. Deep water laying began on March 14. Laying was haHed once in the face of hugece fields, and once when a cable shipi ?aught fire 3i June 15.

To the American Institute of Chemical Enginers, T. En glehart, A. Lieberman and J. Roskinski, of .the Armouj Research Foundation, ?eport ed. that the large amounts of water discharged by modern jets are currently under study. UndM" certain conditions, the vapor becomes' supersat urated and water droplets condense to form a visilble trail. Due to the cooling of the trail and to the turbulence these droplets grow by con densation - and coalescence. Evaporation serves to elim inate those droplets which form but never reach a' stable size. . . The scientists proposed a new form of the coalescence rate equation to make pos sible more accurate calcula tion of the droplet size distri bution at any stage in the growth of the trail. This awaits experimental verification.
