Problems of growth in Sydney's telephone cable tunnels
The Sydney telephone tunnel network, built mostly around the year 1900, has served the city well for many years but is now becoming grossly inadequate, at least in certain sections. The congestion, which now limits its usefulness, complicates relief measures, which are difficult and expensive. Also the establishment of new major and hence heavily cabled exchanges, which must be linked with the existing tunnel system poses special problems at the intersection of the old and new systems. This article surveys those problems and proposed solutions.
