TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TO-DAY The CREATION OF The BELL CO.

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 Of telephony of
which the Bell System Is the embodiment. .s.-.
When the telephone was born, nothing analosou.
to Telephone service now know It existed There
no tradition to guide, experience to follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methods-an entire
art had to be created. The art of electrical ensi
neerins did exist. The Bell pioneer, recognizing
that depended upon the highest engineering and
technical Skill at organized experimental and
research department., which s directed by q staff
of $50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors postgraduate Students scientific investga-
tors-the graduates of over 20 universities.
From its foundation the company has continuously
developed the art New improvements IN telephones,
swtchboards, Gnes cables, have followed another
with remarkable rapidity.
While each successive type of apparatus to the
percia observer suggested Similarity each step in the
evolution marked a decided Improvement. These
changes this evolution have only been continuous,
but continuing. Substantially all of the plant
use, including telephones switchboards, cables, and
wires has been constructed renewed reconstructed in
the past 10 years.
Particularly in swtchboards have the changes been
radical that installations costing in the aggregate mil
lions 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 trans
mtters OF the 10000, 900 telephone receivers and
transmitters owned by the Bell Company January l,
1914, none in prior to 1902, while the aver
age age is less than five years.
Within 10 years we have expended for construction
and reconstruction amount more than equal to the
present book value of our 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 mile
underground as much 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 ef-
feet of improvements, great and small, in telephone
transmitter lne cable, switchboard and other
piece of apparatus plant required in the transmission
of speech.
While the limit of commercial overhead talking had
increased from strictly local to 900 miles early
as 1893 it was not until 1905 that conversation could
be had over long distance circuits of which much

In our use OF methOoS or apparatus, we arc Cofn'
mtted to no system. We own, control have the
right inventions necessary to operate system
recognized accepted the most efficient. The Bell
System must always recognize and in its selection must
always be governed by the necessities of national
service, with Its complex requirements, which is infin-
itely more exactng than local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expenditures Of
money and immense concentration of effort which have
been justified by results of benefit to the
public. No local company unaided could bear the nan
cia or scientific burden of this work. Such results
possible only through centralized general staff, avoid
ing wasteful 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 a public
obligation to give the best possible service at the most
reasonable consistent with rs investment and the
continued Improvement and maintenance of the prop
erty.
Without this expenditure of millions and concentra
ton of effort the telephone art exists could not
have been developed.
What we have done in working out these great
problems in the past should be accepted guarantee
of what we will do in the future.
