NUCLEAR One of 'the most important offerings ever pre- sented by Westinghouse School Service is this set I of six wall charts on nuclear physics. To the teacher and student alike, they will prove in. valuable in explaining this new science and in

showing its significance in the world today. The charts-lithographed in two colors-are a

necessity in modern science classrooms. Included with each set is a 32-pag plementary information on nuclear physics. y

. The six charts are:

For those who want to talk, Bell Laboratories scientists developed the telephone. For those who prefer the typewritten message, they de- veloped TWX-Teletypewriter Exchange Service.

Fingers on a keyboard send your message to be typed by one or scores of other teletype- writers selected at your request from the 21,000 instruments connected to the Bell System's nationwide TWX network.

As in telephone service, your TWX con-

nection is set up through switching systems, manual or mechanical, as best may serve. And over long distances your m-iessage travels eco- nomically with many others on the same pair of wires. All these technics are products of Bell Telephone Laboratories research in the telephone art.

TWX is today a vital link in the nation's chain of communication. And year by year it benefits from the steady growth of the tele- phone system which carries it.
