 The retardne effect of She earth the teIs- phone current often impaired conversation through mile underground much through TOO miles overhead. Overhead eonver sation had it's distinct limitations.
 No possible improvement in the telephone transnitter could of itself solve these difficult ties
 The solution only found n the cumula- tive effect Of improvements, great and small in telephone, tranennitter, line, cable, switch board, and every other piece of apparatus plant required in the tranemsslen Of speech

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


In lire 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 born, nothing an- alocous to telephone service as We now know it existed There was no tradition to g"ide' no experience to follow.
 The system, the apparatus, the methods-an entire art had to be created. The art Of eectrsal engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers recognizing that success depended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized experimental and research department which is now directed py a stan of over $50 enoineers and scientists, including former professors, postgraduate students, scientific investsators-the graduates of over 70 universities
 From it's foundation the company has con- tinuousiy developed the art New improvements in telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have followed one another with remarkable 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 been continuous, but is continu- ing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, including telephones, switchsoards, cables and wires, has been constructed, renewed or re- constructed in the past 10 years
 Particularly in sHitchboards have the changes been radical that installations cost ing in the aggregate millions have frequently been discarded after only few years of
 Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,0oo 900 tele- phone receivers and transnitters owned by the Bell Company January 1, 1914, were in use prior to 1902 while the average age is less than five years.
 Within 10 years we have expended for con struetion and reconstruction an amount more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant

 lt was then that the construction of under ground conduits from Boston to Washington was determined upon,-not that it was ex- psoted to get a through underground talk be- tween those places, but in of storm blizzard, to utilize intermediate sections in necton with the overhead.
 Our persistent study and incessant experi- mentation have produced results more remark able still.
 We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods that have overcome obstacles hereto fore regarded fnsuperabIe both to iona dis tance overhead and underground conversation Underground conversation is now possible between Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European under ground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent great storm, 60 destructive land and sea, to maintain communication for the public between all the principal points on the Atlantic seaboard.

 In of methods apparatus. we are committed to system. We own, con trol have the right to inventions neces- sary to operate any system recognized
 
 must always recognize, and in it's selection must always be governed by the necessities of 8 national service with it's complex require ments, which is infinitely exactins than local limited service
 These achievements represent vast expenoi- lures of money and immense concentration of effort which have been justified by results of mmeasurabIe benefit to the public. No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such results possible only through centralized general staff avoiding wastefuI 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, in the broadest public utility; that upon them rested public obligation to give the best possible service st the most reasonable rates consistent with risk, investment and the continued improvement and maintenance of it's property.
 Without this expenditure of millions and concentration Of effort, the telephone art it exists could not have been developed.
 What have done In working out these great problems in the past should be accepted as a guarantee of what will do in the future.
