Created by the U.S. Army Signal Corps as part of the "Basic Signal Communication" just before WWII, this film on field wire presents information about the laying of telephone and telegraph wire, with a focus on the splicing of wires. At 4:40, a two man team is shown making splices in tandem. Various knotting and joining techniques are shown, as well as images of troops laying both surface (1:16) and elevated cable by hand and with the use of a truck.
