This article reports on the construction of Pacific Gas & Electric Company's most challenging pipeline that runs from Corning to Eureka, California. The 168‐mile, 12‐inch pipeline traverses some of the most difficult terrain yet to be encountered by the company. Topics covered include: problems of pipeline; importance of quick repair; rupture control equipment; problem of location; mobile radio system; operation of equipment; and, system limitations. The article includes an appendix that contains FCC Docket No. 12028, released June 4, 1959, “Frequencies available for operational fixed stations.”
