Electronic apparatus which createsthe high-frequency current and, whena person is speaking into the tele-phone, varies or modulates it insuch a way that it can carry the con-versation, is installed in or near the central office and on the customerspremises. The high-frequency tele-phone currents hop on and off thepower line by means of carrier coup-lers installed on the power-line couplers do not permit thepower current to pass; but the tele-. Spans averaging from 350 to 450 feet, using high-strength steel wire, materially reduce construction costs phone carrier currents, being of veryhigh frequencies, can pass over thepower line simultaneously with thepower currents, without any mutualinterference, whereas this could notbe done if ordinary telephone currentswere used. 120 Bell Telephone Magazine WINTER
