Describes the network of high-speed transmission lines as part of the C.C.I.F. general telephone switching plan for Europe (1947-1952 programme). Details the routes, number of national and international links and distribution of line losses, together with a summary of transmission requirements. International transit working is required, and as a first stage the plan is limited to originating national toll operator control, but subscriber-to-subscriber dialling is visualized at a later stage.
