Description

Letter from V.J. Habberfield, Cabinet Office, London to Major J.W. Sheen, Directorate of Communications, P 2-4, pertaining to transfer of Hydra from the Ottawa Wireless Station to Carp, and its effect on transatlantic telegraph channels. Habberfield provides a comprehensive list of current transatlantic channels which are a concern. Habberfield asks for confirmation that bypass or manual switching facilities will be provided at Carp, as STRAD is seen as inflexible and incompatible with current cryptographic equipment.
