After months of research and ex- perimenting, signals has worked out a practical plan for use oi’ facsimile which its experts believe will make an important contribution to effic- iency of the Canadian and ‘Brit- ish armies. It is one of the leading scientific accomplishments by the 2nd division, since this type of communication never has been used before in anriy work. The facsimile machines look like the modem teletype machines oper- ating in Canadian newspaper offices. Maps, sketches, pictures and written Ol‘ Drlnted matter can be transmit- ted over wire circuits. . Wlrephoto and facsimile de- vElQDments by The Associated Press and experiments carried out by the Toronto Globe and Mail along this line originally inspired the idea among 2nd Division of. ficers that it might be adapted for the army. Mill-Gen. Victor Odlum, div- isional commander, and his lead- 1118 51811815 officer saw possibilities in the scheme and experiments were encouraged. Lieut. Ted Tur- tnn of Montreal, formerly an en- gineer with a large electrical com- filmy was put in charge of the de- velopment and he has been emin- ently successful. "It is no freak apparatus, but o, scientific application of commer- cial equipment to army needs," said Lelut. Turton.
