TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
Telephone Service of Today the Creation of the Bell Co.

III no line OF human endeaVor has the I'm

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 now know
IL existed. There 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, -ecognizing that success depended
upon the highest engineering and technical
skill at once organized an experimental and re-
search department which is now directed by
a staff Of over $50 engineers and scientists, In
GLIDING former professors, postgraduate stu
dents, scientific investigators-the graduates
OF over 20 universities.
From its foundation the company has con-

markable 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 now 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

been discarded after only a few years OF use

construction and reconstruction an amount
more than equal to tho present book value of

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 conversation
through mile underground as much as
through 100 miles overhead Overhead con-
versation had its distinct limitations
No possible Improvement in the telephone
trans,nitter could OF itself solve these diff
c1ities.
The solution was only found in the cunau-
1atave effect Of improvements, great and small
in teIephone, transnitter, line cable. switch

plant required in the transmission of speech

upon them rested a public obligation to give
the best possible service at the most reason

ENGINEER WHO HAS SPENT

NOW Is Retired on

Moving the population of 80 towns

gan with the first short line Of the
Northwestern when 1t was known as
the Chicago & Galena Union, and
quits when 1t is 10000 miles long.
Dan Tuttle is the name of this en-
gineer who began working for the
company flve years before the war.
He quit long enough to help in the
war and then went back to his job
Most of the service as engineer was
performed on two Illinois lines, one
of them between Chicago and Free
port and the other between Chicago
and Sterling. The tains handled by
Tuttle were fast between Chicago and
West Chicago. He did business with
all Of the stations on both lines while
he was on one or the other, 80 that he
carried the people of each town one
way or the other or both.
1t Is safe to say Dan Tuttle carried
every living soul In all the towns at
one time or another. Some of them he
carried twice day, for they would
come to the city with him in the morn
ing and go back home behind him In
the evening. He has carried at least
three generations Of the same families,
In some instances more, and in the
long run he has carried other towns
In the same way, for there was long
time when the train would stop at
every station between its terminals.
Tuttle is acquainted with not only
thousands of men, women and children
who have seen his face framed In a
