Application of Rural Carrier Telephone System

This paper deals with the application of a carrier system developed primarily for providing rural telephone service over power distribution circuits in areas where this means of extending telephone service may be more attractive than other available methods. The modifications required in the power circuits to permit carrier frequency transmission are described, including the effect of these modifications on the operation of the power system. Construction features also are discussed. The use of the rural carrier telephone system over open wire telephone pairs is discussed briefly.
