Hardly had man learned to fly than he began to feel the urgency of the need to communicate between ground and plane.
Radio headsets are one of C. T. & E. Division's contributions to aviation communications in World War II.
One of the first successful attempts in such two-way contact was accomplished with equipment designed and manufactured
by Connecticut Telephone & Electric.
Since the early days of the telephone, our people have been identified with progress in communications. Today
the principles of communications have applications of the greatest importance to industry, in connection with product
development and production control.
Our developmental engineers also have much to offer to industrial executives seeking to produce a better product
at lower cost. If our engineering and production facilities might tie in with your plans, we shall be happy indeed
to talk with you.
