TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TO-DAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL CO. In no line of human endeavor has the in- ventive brain of the scientist contributed more to the world’s progress than by the :ation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system is the embodiment. When the telephone was born, nothing analagous to telephone service as we now know it existed. There was no traditien to ¢uide, no experience to follow. The system, the apparatus, the methods— an entire new art had to be created. The are of electrical engineering did not exist. Bell pioneers, recognizing that success de- pended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized an experi- mental and research department which is now directed by a stalt of over 550 cngineers and scientists, including former professors, post-graduate students, scienti- fic investigators—the graduates of over 70 ‘universitics. I'rom its foundation the company has continuously developed the art. New im- provements in telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one another with remarkable rapidity. ; While cach successive type of apparatus to the superficitl observer suggested simi- larity, cach step in the evolution marked a decided improvement. These changes, this cvolution, has not only been continuous, but is continuing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, including telephones, switchboards, cables and wires, has been constructed, renewed or reconstructed in the past ten years. ]'.ll(ltllldll\ in switchboards have the changes been so radical that installations costing in the aggregate millions have fre- quently been discarded after only a few vears of use. Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,- 000 telephone receivers and transmitters awned by the Bell Company January 1, 1G14, none were in use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years. Within ten years we have expended for construction and reconstruction 4n amoun more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant. Long-distance and underground trans- mission was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telephone experts. The retarding effect of the carth on the telephone current often impaired conver- sation through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations. No possible improvment in phone transmitter could of these difficulties. The solution was only found in the cumulative effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone, transmitter, linc, cable, switchboard, and every other piece of apparatus or plant required in the trans- mission of speech. While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increased from strictly local to over 1,000 miles as early as 1893, it was not vntil 1905 that conversation could be had tele- solve the itself I S e I o S i o e s e G long-distance circuits of which as much as 20 miles was in underground cables. By 1906 underground talking dis- tance had increased to 9o miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk underground from New York to \Washington. It was then that the construction cf underground conduits from Boston to Washington was determined upon,—not that it was expected to get a thorough underground talk between those places, but m case of storm or blizzard, to utilize in- termediate sections in connection with the overhead. Our persisteng study and incessant ex- perimentation have produced results more vemarkable still. \We have perfected cables, apparatus and mcethods that have overcome obstacles heretofore regarded as insuperable both to Ling-distance overhead and underground conversation, Underground camversation is now vible between Boston and \Washington, four times the length of the longest Kuropean underground line. This enabled the Bell Svstemdin the recent great storm, so de- siructive on land and sea, to maintain com- riunication for the public between all the principal points on the Atlantic seaboard. Telephone communication is established hetween New York and Denver, is potent- 1lly possible between all points in the United States, and by, 1915 will be an ac- complished fact between New York and Nan Ifrancisco. over pos- In our use of methods or apparatus, we are committed to no one system. We own, control or have the right to use inventions weecksary to operate any system recog- nized or accepted as the most cfficient. The I’.cll System must always recognize, and in its selection must always be governed by lln- necessities of a national service, with its complex requirements, which is nfinite- Iy more exacting than local or dimited ser- vice, 1 These achievements represent vast ex- penditures of mponey and immense concen- tration of effort which have been justified l'y results of immeasurable benefit to the public. Nop local company unaided could I car the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such result$ are possible only through a centralized genceral staff, avoid- ing wasteful duplication of effort, working cut problems common to all, for the hene- fit of all. The pioneers of the Bell System recog- nized that telephone service as they saw it, was in the broadest sense a public utility ; that upon them rested a public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk, investment and the continued improvement and maintenance of its property. Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could not have been developed. What we have done in working out these areat problems in the past should be ac- cepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future. THEO. N. Vi \”,. President. Nora Kanode. S| Helen Morse.
