In no line 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 system Is the embodiment.
When the telephone was born, nothing
analogous to telephone service as we now
know 1t existed. There was 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, recognizing that success
depended upon the highest engineering and
technical skill at once organized an expert
mental and Research department which is
now directed by staff of over $50 engin-
GERS and scientists, including former pro-
fessors, postgraduate students, scientific
investigators-the graduates of over 20
universities.
From its foundation the company has
continuously developed the art. New I'M
provements I'm telephones, switchbOards,
lines, cables, have followed one another
with remarkable rapidity.
While each successive type of apparatus

quently been discarded after only few
years of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced
81 types and styles of receivers and "a
types and styles of transmitters. OF the

mitters owned by the Bell Company jan

be had over long distance circuits of
which as much as 20 miles was In UNDER
ground cables. by 1905 underground
talking distance had increased to 90 miles.
by 1912 1t was possible to talk UNDER
ground from New York to Washington.
1t was then that the construction of UNI
dergrOund cOnduits from Boston to WASH
ington was determined upOn,-nOt that il
was expected to get through underground
talk between those two places, but in case
OF storm or blizzard, to utilize intermedi-
ate sections in connection with the over
head.
Our persistent study and incessant ex-
perimentatiOn have produced results more
remarkable still.
We have perfected cables, apparatus and
methods that have overcome obstacles
heretofore regarded as insuperabIe both to
lOng-distance overhead and underground
conversation.
Underground conversation is now posi-
bic between Boston and Washington, four
times the length Of the longest European
underground line. This enabled the bell
System In the recent great STORM, so de-
structive on land and sea, to maintain
communication for the public between all
the principal points ON the Atlantic sea-
board.
Telephone communication is established
between New York and Denver, is pOten-
Ill
United States, and by 1915 will be an ac-
complished fact between New York and
San Francisco.
In our use of methods or apparatus, we
are committed to no one system. We own,
control or have the right to use inventions
necessary TO operate any system recognized
or accepted as the most efficient. The
Bell System must always recognize, and I'm
its selection must always be governed by
the necessities of a national service, with
its complex requirements, which is in
finitely more exacting than local or limited
service.
These achievements represent vast ex-
penditures of money and immense concern
tratiOn of effort which have been Justified
by results of unreasonable benefit to the
public. No local company unaided could
bear the financial or scientific burden OF
this work. Such results are possible only
through a centralized general staff avoid
ing wasteful duplication of effort. working
out problems common to all, for the bene-
fit of all.
The pioneers of the bell System recog-
nized that telephone service as they saw 1t,
was in the broadcast sense public utility;
that upon them rested q public obligation
to give the hest possible service at the
most reasonable rates consistent with risks,
investment and the continued Improvement
and maintenance of It's property.
without this expenditure of millions and
concentration of effort, the telephone art
as IL exists could not have been developed.
What we have done In working out these
great problems In the past should be ac-
cepted as guarantee of what we Will do
In the future.
