Telecommunications and Electronics Branch : In 1936, the Radio Division, as part of the Department of Transport's Air Services, was responsible for the administration of national, international and regional radio laws and regulations; the construction, operation and maintenance of radio aids to maritime and aeronautical navigation; and the investigation and suppression of interference with broadcast reception. During the Second World War, the Radio Division was separated from Air Services to act as a stand alone branch. In 1948, the Government Telegraph and Telephone System was transferred to the Radio Division from the Department of Public Works and the Radio Division once again became part of Air Services. The Radio Division was responsible for the regulation, licensing and inspection of commercial and amateur radio stations, including the early operations of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In 1950, the Radio Division was renamed Telecommunications Division and later changed to the Telecommunications and Electronics Branch (TEB). The division was also charged with operating and maintaining government owned radio stations and beacons. The TEB was transferred to the newly-formed Department of Communications in 1969.Additional information:Source of title:Title is based on the contents of the series.Accruals:Further accruals are expected.Related material:Related records may also be found in the Regional Office sub-series, the headquarters central registry series and the Canadian Air Transportation Administration central registry files sub-series (MIKAN 180029).Source:GovernmentFormer archival reference no.:RG12-A
