Expect the PBS presentation to be excellent, as usual.

For great information in clear, concise form, the "Lenkurt Demodulator"
was almost unbeatable. The topic of its January 1968 edition was
"Undersea Cable". This edition was also included in Lenkurt`s 2nd book
of reprints.

History and technical aspects are covered. First transatlantic cable
between Britain and America was placed in 1858, lasted 20 days, carried
732 telegraph messages, and saved the British government 50,000 pounds
it is said.

It took sixteen and a half hours to pass a 99-word message from Queen
Victoria to President Buchanan. The next cable was laid in 1866 and
lasted.
