In no line of human endeavor has the
inventive 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
analogous to telephone service as we now
know it existed. There was no tradition TO
guido, no experience to follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methods
an entire new art-had to be created. The
Bell pioneers, recognizing that success de-
pended upon the highest engineering and
technical skill at once organized an expert
mental and research department, which ia
now directed by a staff of over $50 engineers
and scientists, including former professors,
post. graduate students, scientific investi-
saters-the graduates of over 20 UNIVERSE
ties.
From its foundation the company has con-
&inuousIy developed the art. New improve
ments in telephones, switch boards, lines,
cables have followed one another with re-
markabIe rapidity.
While each successive type Of apparatus
to the superficial observer suggested SINH
larity, each step in the evolution. marked a
decided Improvement. These changes, this
evolution, has not only been continuous, but
is continuing. Substantially all of the plant
now in use, including telephones, switch
boards, cables and wires, has been con-
strueted, renewed or reconstructed in the
past 10 years.
Particularly in switch boards 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 1877 there have been introduced So
types and styles Of receivers and 70 types
and styles of transmitters. OF the $4,000, 600
telephone receivers and transmitters owned
by the Bell company January I, 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.
