in the saving of crop worth several

as 20 miles was in underground cables. By
1906 underground talking distance had in
creased to 80 miles. By 1912 it was possible

We have perfected cables, apparatus and

distance overhead and underground CONVEX

Underground conversation is now possible
between Boston and Washington, four times
the length of the longest European under

in the recent great storm, so destructive on
land and sea, to maintain communication for

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TODAY THE CREATION OF THEBELL

In no line OF human endeavor has the in
0entive 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 an
alogous to telephone service as we now
know it existed. There was no tradition to
guide, ne 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 an ex-
perimental and research department which
is now directed by staff of over $50 engi-
neers and scientists, including former pro-
fessors, postgraduate students, scientific in
vestigators-the graduates of over 70 uni
versities.
From it's foundation the company has con-
tinuously developed the art. New improve
ments in telephones, switchboards, lines ca
bles, 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 decided
improvement These changes, this evolution,
has not only bean continuous, but is continu-
ing. Substantially all of the plant now in USE
including telephones, switchboards, cables
and wires, has been constructed renewed
or reconstructed in the past 10 years.
Particularly in switchboards have the
changes been so radical that installations
costing in the aggregate millions have fire.
quently been discarded after only a few
years of use.
Since 1887 there have been introduced So
types and styles Of receivers and 70 types and
styles Of transmitters. OF the 100000 tele-
phone. receivers and transmitters owned by
the Bell Company January 1, 1914, none were
in use prior to 1902, while the average
age is less than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for
construction and reconstruction an amount
more than equal to the present book value
of our entire plant
Long-distance and underground transmits
sion was the most formidable scientific prob
lem confronting the telephone experts.
The retarding effect of the earth on the
telephone current often impaired converse
ton through one mile underground as much
as through 100 miles overhead Overhead
conversation had it's distinct limitations.
No possible Improvement in the telephone
transmitter could of itself solve these diff
culties.
The solution was only found in the cumu-
ative effect OF improvements. great and
switchboard and every other piece of appa-
ratus or plant required in the transmission
of speech.
While the limit Of commercial overhead
talking had increased from strictly local to
over 900 miles as early as 1898, it was not
until 1905 that conversation could be had

Newspaper readers frequently notice
references to the IS. o. S." call be-
ing sounded by wireless. in cases OF
distress of vessels at sea. The term is

have wondered what the letters stand
for.
Several newspaper readers were

could reach the scene.
This taught the lesson, and uni

that they are easy to catch.
