[00:00.49]Mr.James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst.
[00:11.71]Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury,
[00:16.26]but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage,
[00:21.69]so he has just bought twelve pigeons.
[00:25.60]Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury.
[00:31.92]The bird covered the distance in three minutes.
[00:35.99]Up to now, Mr.Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.
[00:46.64]In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.
