<P><FONT size=5>Time Capsule II Preserves Technical Journal
Articles</FONT></P><FONT size=2>
<P>Three articles from BTL's Technical Journal will be preserved for the people
of 6939 A.D. in the Westinghouse Time Capsule II. The articles are "Automatic
Switching for Nationwide Telephone Service" by A. B. Clark and H. S. Osborne;
"Nationwide Numbering Plan" by W. H. Nunn, both from the September, 1952 issue,
and "The TD-2 Microwave Radio Relay System" by A. A. Roetken, K. D. Smith and R.
W. Friis, from the October, 1951 Technical Journal.</P>
<P>Time Capsule II will contain a panorama of current human activity. Its
purpose is to supplement the original time capsule buried at the first New York
World's Fair in 1938.</P>
<P>The new capsule is to be buried alongside the first one at the Westinghouse
World's Fair Pavilion at the end of the 1965 season.</P>
<P>Bell Labs scientists W. H. Brattain and C. E. Shannon will have works
included in the capsule's microfilm records as will J. Bardeen, a former BTL
scientist.</P>
<P>'The Transistor, A Semi-Conductor Triode," by J. Bardeen and W. H. Brattain;
and "Mathematical Theory of Communications," by C. E. Shannon and W. Weaver,
will be the works included.</P>
<P>The Time Capsule contents were chosen by a 14-man selections committee headed
by Dr. Leonard Carmichael, a vice president of the National Geographic
Society.</P>
<P>Replicas of all objects to be buried in the capsule are on display now at the
Westinghouse Pavilion at the Fair.</P></FONT>

to if it would be read.....</FONT></B></P>
