TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS


ton could be had over long distance circuits of
which as much as 20 miles was in underground
cables BY 1906 underground talking distance had
increased to 80 miles By 1912 it possible to talk
underground from New York to Washington.
1t was then that the construction of underground
conduits from Boston to Washington was determined
upon-not that it was expected to get through
underground talk between those places but in case
of storm blizzard to utilize intermediate sections
in connection with the overhead
Our persistent study and incessant experimental
ton have produced results more remarkable STILL
We have perfected cables, apparatus and meth
DDS that have overcome obstacles heretofore re.
garded as insuperable both to long distance over
head and underground conversation.
Underground conversation is now possible be-
tween Boston and Washington, four times the length
of the longest European underground line This en-
abled the Bell System in the recent great storm so
destructive on land and sea- to maintain communica
ton for the public between all the principal points
on the Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established between
New York and Denver is potentially possible be-
tween all points in the United States and by 1915
will be an accomplished fact between New York and
San Francisco.

In no line of human endeavor has the inventive
brain of the scientist contributed 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 guide, no experience to
follow
The system, the apparatus, the methods-an en-
tire new art had to be created The art of electrical
engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recog
nzing that success depended upon the highest engi-
neerng and technical SKILL at once organized an ex
perimental and research department, which is now
directed by staff of over $50 engineers and scien-
fists including former professors, ostgraduate
students scientific Investigators graduates of
over 70 universities
From its foundation the company has continu-
ously developed the art. New improvements in tele
phones, switchboards lines cables have followed one
another with remarkable rapdity.
While each successive type of apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity each step in
the evolution marked decided improvement. These
changes this evolution have not only been continu
Gus, but continuing, Substantially 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 so radical that installations costing in the ag
gregate millions have frequently been discarded after
only 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 10000 900 telephone receivers
and transmitters owned by the Bell Company Jan
uary l, 1914 none were in use prior to 1902, while
the average age is less than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for construc-
ton and reconstruction an amount more than equal
to the present book value of entire plant.
Long distance and underground transmission was
the most formidable scientific problem confronting
the telephone experts.
The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone
current often impaired conversation through one
mile underground much as through 100 miles
overhead. Overhead conversation had its distinct
limitations
No possible Improvement in the telephone trans
mitter could of itself solve these difficulties.
The solution was only found in the cumulative
effect of improvements, great and small in tele-
phone, transmitter line, cable switchboard and
every other piece of apparatus plant required in
the transmission of speech.
While the limit of commercial overhead talking
had increased from strictly local to over 1000 miles
as early as $685. it was not until 1905 that converse
