Notes
Montreal, 1 April 1955- A.W. Whitaker, Jr, Vice-President and General Manager of the Aluminum Company of Canada, Limited and Mrs. Eva Waldie, Supervisor of the Communications for the Company, watch as the first message is received in Montreal over the longest industrial teletype system in the world. Installed by the Trans-Canada Telephone System, it went into operation today and provides instant communication between Alcan's head office in the Sun Life Building, Montreal and the company's plant at Kitimat, 400 miles north of Vancouver, in British Columbia. Messages between these two points travel a distance in excess of 5200 miles. Alcan, which is presently producing 91,500 tons of aluminum a year at Kitimat, has announced plans for expanding Kitimat capacity to 330,000 tons and this direct communications link between Kitimat and the company head office is expected to prove invaluable.
