Tuesday Transportation Oddities
In a day when you can hit a few keys on your computer or smartphone and have a video chat with someone across the ocean for no additional costs, we probably take that ease of communication for granted. Not so long ago, making a call from the US to South America or Europe was more complex and expensive. In Lawrence Township, New Jersey, AT&T had an 800+ acre site with numerous 180-foot towers for a shortwave station that allowed such calls. The cost in 1930 was $30 for a three-minute call to London.
