In our of methods or apparatus, we are
committed to no one system. We own, con-
troll or have the right to inventions neces-
sary to operate any system recognized or ac-
cepted as the most efficient The Bell System
must always recognize, and in its selection
must always be governed by the necessities of
national service with its complex require
ments, which is infinitely more exactng than
local or limited service
These achievements represent vast expendi-
lures of money and immense concentration of
effort which have been justified by results of
Unreasonable benefit to the public. No local
company unaided could bear the financial or
scientific burden of this work. Such results
are possible only through a centralized general
staff. avoiding wasteful duplication of effort,
working out problems common to all. for the
benefit of all.
The pioneers of the Bell System recognized
that telephone service as they saw it, was in
the broadcast 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.

The low grade cotton probably will
not prove so great a weight on the
market as has been believed for

Long distance and underground transmits

The retarding effect of the earth the tele-
phone current often impaired conversation
through one mile underground much
through 100 miles overhead. Overhead con-
versation had its distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone

The solution was only found in the cumula-
tive effect of Improvements, great and small,
in telephone transmitter, line, cable, switch
board, and every other piece OF apparatus or

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


In no line of human endeavor has the in
ventive brain of the scientist contributed more
to the worlds progress than by the creation
of the art of telephony of which the Bell sys-
tenn is the embodiment
When the telephone was born, nothing an
alogous to telephone service as we know
it existed. There tradition to guide, no
experience to follow.
The system, the apparatus the methods-an
entire new art had to be created. The art of
electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell
pioneers, recognizing that success depended
upon the highest engineering and technical
skill at once organized experimental and
search department which is now directed by
a staff of over $50 engineers and scientists, in
Guiding former professors postgraduate stu
dents, scientific nvestigators-the graduates of
over 70 universities.
From it's foundation the company has con-
tinuously developed the art New improve
ments in telephones, switchboards lines, cab
les, have followed one another with remark
able rapidity.
While each successive type of apparatus to
the superficial observer suggested similarity,
each step in the evolution marked a decided
Improvement These changes, this evolution,
has not only been continuous, but is continu-
ing. Substantially all of the plant in use,
including telephones, switchboards, cables and
wires, has been constructed, renewed or re-
constructed in the past 10 years.
Particularly in switchboards have the
changes been radical that installations cost
ing in the aggregate millions have frequently
been discarded after only few years of use
Since 1877 there have been introduced SO
types and styles of receivers and 73 types and
styles of transmitters. OF the 100000 telc

Bell Company January 1. 1914, in
use prior to 1902 while the average age is less
than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for con-
tructon and reconstruction amount more
