As the nation's largest producer of communications and electronic equipment, Western Electric turns out vast quantities of telephone, radio and detection devices for all branches of our armed forces. Many college graduates—men and women—are helping us put these weapons in our fighters' hands.
LONG TOMS — blasting unseen targets — are directed by voices flashing through this artilleryman's radio telephone "switchboard." His FM set can operate on 120 crystal controlled channels, any ten selected instantly by push-buttons. Using its many channels, he connects the battalion commander with spotters up front and in planes; then with battery commanders who focus tremendous firepower. He's helping soften the hard road ahead.
