When the HYDRA TRC transfers to CARP STRAD, the existing torn tape relay centre at LEITRIM will become redundant. 2. The CASS' has need of additional torn-tape relay . equipment to cover-.several functions, of which the following are examples: a,, to install a 3 cabinet (9 circuit) tape-relay •. backup at CARP,, to be available for the termination and operation of principal trunk circuits in the event of a major outage of STRAD; b.. to provide adequate cabinet operation at certain minor centres now forced to operate on an individual equipment set basis (eg LONDON, KINGSTON); c. to provide a small telegraph relay centre at PETAtfAWA or KINGSTON as an alternate to GARP, so as to be capable of keying RICHARDSON (and perhaps OSHAWA) if CARP is out of action; d. to improve our installed relay centre capacity at BRIDGES; under the budgetary limits of Project BRIDGE we installed only enough cabinet equipment to terminate a total of 3 circuits on each trunk route, yet we plan 2 leased circuits, 2 HF and 1 LF circuit; at present the remaining 2 must be terminated on circuit control; it is desired to have all these circuits extended'to the relay centres so as to have all available without patching delays in an emergency. 3. Can you state whether the LEITRIM torn-tape equipment can be made available after the successful cutover to STRAD? 0-' If so, how much is involved? ^ffnat pattern is it?£yDoes it belong to the Army?
