The carriers and pilot tones of the L multiplex are all derived from a single source of 4 Kc. The new primary frequency supply provides this primary frequency. It is designed to operate phase‐locked to a pilot tone derived from an incoming carrier system and hence to have no frequency error with respect to that tone. The unit features a high degree of frequency stability, even in the absence of the pilot; it features more reliable performance and lower maintenance as well as marked size reduction compared with the older equipment.

There is a growing demand for modern communication systems capable of transmitting high‐speed data signals over Bell System facilities designed primarily to provide telephone service. Much of this data traffic can be handled within telephone channels in the switched network. Somewhat higher data, rates are feasible on private lines by selection of facilities and special treatment of the voice‐grade circuits. The need for still higher data bit rates requires bandwidths equivalent to many message channels, e.g., the 12‐channel group, the 60‐channel supergroup, and the 600‐channel mastergroup. Presentation of basic measured data to statistically characterize transmission in the broader bands in terms of frequency domain specifications is the object of this paper. Data reduction is covered in detail. Characteristics of built‐up connections are predicted from knowledge of the characteristics of subunits, including inherent variability. Such variability is a basic limitation on the degree of equalization that can be achieved with a small set of fixed networks.
