CONCLUSIONS 



The submarine-cable link between Clarenville, Newfoundland, and 

 Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia, was completed in May, 1956, and provides 

 five carrier telephone groups, each capable of carrying twelve high-grade 

 telephone circuits or their equivalent. The transmission objectives have 

 been met in everj^ respect. 



Three 12-circuit groups are connected to the three groups across the 

 Atlantic between Scotland and Newfoundland; the other two groups 

 are available to provide 24 circuits between Newfoundland and the 

 mainland of Canada.
