TELEPHONE. ACHIEVEMENTS


In no line of human endeavOr has the inventive
brain of the scientist contributed more to the world
progress than by the creation OF the art OF telephony
of which the Bell System is the embodiment
When the telephone born, nothing analogous
to telephone service as we now know it existed
There was no tradition to guide, experience to
follow
The system, the apparatus, the methods-an en-
tire art had to be created The art Of electrical
engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recog-
nizing that success depended upon the highest engi
neering and technical Skill at organized an ex
detrimental and research department which is now
directed by staff of over 800 engineers and scien
tists including former professors post graduate
students scientific investigators-the graduates of
over 70 universities.
From its foundation the company has continu
ousy developed the art New improvements in tele
phones 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, 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 or
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 Is types and styles of
transmitters Of the 100000 telephone receivers
and transmitters owned by the Bell Company Jan
nary /, 1914, were in 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 than equal
to the present book value of entire plant.
Long distance and underground transmission
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 much through 100 miles
overhead Overhead conversation had its distinct
limitations
No possible improvement in the telephone trans
mtter could of itself solve these difficulties.
The solution 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 1000 miles
early 1898, not until 1905 that converse

In our of methods or apparatus, we are com
mitted to no one system. We own, control or have
the right to inventions necessary to operate any
system recognized or 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 infinitely more exactng than local or lin
tied service
These achievements represent vast expenditures
of money and immense concentration Of effort which
have been justified by results of unreasonable bene-
fit to the public. No local company unaided could
bear the financial scientific burden of this work
Such results possible only through centralized
general staff avoiding 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 as they saw it, was in the brOades
sense public utility; that upon them rested public
obligation to give the best possible service at the
most reasonable rates consistent with risk invest
ment and the continued improvement and mainte-
nance of the property.
Without this expenditure of millions and coneep-
tration of effort the telephone art it exists could
not have been developed.
What we have done in working out these great
problems in the past should be accepted as guar.
antee of what we will do in the future.
