1000 miles as early as 1898, it was not until
1905 that conversation could be had long
distance circuits of which much 20 miles
was in underground cables. By 1906 under
ground talking distance had increased to so
miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk under
ground from New York to Washington.
1t was then that the construction of under
ground conduits from Boston to Washington
determined upon,-not that it was expected to
get through underground talk between those
places, but in of storm blizzard to util-
iZe intermediate sections in connection with the
overhead.
Our persistent study and incessant experiment
tatfon have produced results more remarkable
still.
We perfected cables, apparatus and methods
that have overcome obstacles heretofore regard
ed insuperable both to long-distance over
head and underground conversation
Underground conversation is possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the
length of the longest European underground
line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent
great storm, so destructive on land and sea, to
maintain communication for the public between
all the principal points the Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established be-
tween New York and Denver, is potentially pos
sible between all points in the United States, and
by 1915 will be an accomplished fact between
New York and San Francisco.
In use of methods apparatus,
committed to system. We own, control
or have the right to use inventions necessary to
operate any system recognized accepted
the most efficient. The Bell System must always
recognize, and in its selection must always be
governed by the necessities of a national service,
with its complex requirements which is infinite
ly exacting than local limited service
These achievements represent vast expendi-
lures of none and immense concentration of
effort which have been justified by results of
immeasurable benefit to the public. No local
company unaided could bear the financial
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 they it, was in the
broadest public utility; that upon them
rested public obligation to give the best pos
sible service at the most reasonable rates con-
sistent with the risk, investment and the contin-
ued improvement and maintenance of its prop
erty.
Without this expenditure of millions and
centration of effort, the telephone art as it ex-
lists could not have been developed.
What have done in working out these
great problems in the past should be accepted
a guarantee of what will do in the future

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TO-DAY The CREATION COMPANY

In no line of human endeavor has the inven-
tive brain of the scientist contributed more to
the worlds progress than by the creation of
the art of telephony of which the Bell system
is the embodiment.
When the telephone was born, nothing ana
Joyous to the telephone service as We now know
it existed. There was no 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 up
the highest engineering and technical skill
at once organized an experimental and research
department which is now directed by staff of
over $50 engineers and scientists, including for
mer professors, postgraduate students scientif-
ic Investigators graduates of over 20 uni
versties.
From it's foundation the company has contin-
uously developed the art New improvements
in telephones, swithch boards, lines, cables, have
followed one another with remarkable rapidly.
While each successive type of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity, each
step in the evolution marked decided improve
ment. These changes, this evolution, has not
only been continuous, but is continuing. Sub
stantially all of the plant now in use, including
telephones switchboards, cables, and wires, has
been constructed, renewed reconstructed in
the past 10 years.
Particularly in switchboards have the changes
been radical that installations costing in the
aggregate millions have frequently been discard
ed after only a few years of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced So
types and styles of receivers and IS types and
styles of transmitters. Of the 100000 tele-
phone receivers and transmtters owned by the
Bell Company January l, 1914, in
use prior to 1902, while the average age is less
than five years.
Within 10 years have expended for
struction and reconstruction an amount more
than equal to the present book value of
tire plant.
Long-distanee and underground transmission
the most formidable scientific problem con-
fronting the telephone experts.
The retarding effect OF the earth On the tele-
phone current often impaired conversation
through mile underground much
through 100 miles overhead. Overhead CONVEX
saton had its distinct limitations.
No possible improvement in the telephone
transmitter could of itself solve these difficult
ties.
The solution only found in the cumula-
tive effect of improvements, great and small, in
telephone, transmitter, line cable, switchboard
and every other piece Of apparatus plant
quired in the transmission OF speech.
