construction crews who do their duty,
runs back over the space of many
years. 1t brings you into = expert
ment stations and testing rooms
and laboratories. 1t covers innumer-
able experiments and improvements.
Every step forward in the develop
ment of telephony has been over a
gigantic scrap heap. Bells original
transmitter has seventy-three de-
scendants Fifty-three types and styles
of transmitters have been introduced
since 1877. Within ten years the Bell
System spent for construction and re-
construction an amount more than
equal to the present book value of the
entire plant.
And what is true of transmitters and
receivers is even truer of all that lies
between the terminals of the trans
continental line, for it is in this field
that the engineers had their real PROB
lens. To fill in the gap between Den
yer and the Coast with wires and poles
was comparatively simple. The task
they confronted was to begin at New
York and working all along the line,
make the multitudinous improvements
necessary for a 3,400 mile talk Trans
hIAICOl ., oWlICuUOdFuS, metallic CIECuIIS1
hard-drawn copper wire and loading
coils all had to be attuned to the trans
continental keynote. There's a hint OF
the real achievement in what the engi-
neers did with the loading coil. When
the loading coil left the hands of it's
inventor it was as large as keg, and
the fine. iron wires inside it cost a mint
to make. To-day the loading coil is a
few inches in size, and in the New
York-San Francisco line there are 49,
900 miles of that wire whose cost of
manufacture is comparatively low.
Big Problems Solved.
For those in tie Dey Street Offices
there was striking proof that the prob
lem of transmitting speech is not
solved by any loud-speaking trans
mitter in the replica of Bells invention
that lay before them. They realized
as they looked at that instrument.
crude in the light of all that has hap
pened to transmitters since, what the
engineers had accomplished to make it
speak across the whole United States
They saw that it was not question Of
more horse power, that the telephone
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1915-02-17

engineer could not speed up dynamos
or start more engines running to get
what he was after. For telephony's
motive power is the feebIest thing
imaginable. 1t is a mere breath And
the engineer must preserve and hurry
to their destination practically instan-
taneously the thousands of minute
waves made in the air by the voice
with all their separate shapes and in
divldualities preserved. In speaking
OF his engineers problems, President
Vail said:
The solution was found only in the
cumulative effect of improvements,
great and small, in telephone, trans
m1tter, line, cable, switchboard and
every other piece of apparatus, or plant
required in the transmission of
speech"
Nine Million Telephones.
But proud as telephone engineers
are of what they have accomplished,
they will tell you that this trans
continental line is by no means
the last word in the telephones de-
velOpment in this country The new
line is the backbone of a network of
21,000,000 miles of wire woven round
100000 telephone stations of the
Bell System. The completion of this
line is a mighty step forward toward
that ideal of universal service preached
by President Vail and his associates
back in the Seventies. AS they inter
preted universal service, it meant that
anyone anywhere could speak to any
one anywhere in this country by tax
ing his telephone receiver off the hook.
The line is still in the hands of the
engineers. There is an amount of field
work to be done before it is opened to
the public for commercial use. but
when it is opened it will mean that a
New York business man can talk to
his San Francisco associate without
leaving his desk.
The telephone in the United States
has always set the pace for the rest of
the world. 1t has made in the u. S. A"
stamped on its very soul
Here are some figures in connection
with the New York-San Francisco line
for the lovers of statistics:
Length of line, 3,400 miles Route:
From San Francisco to Salt Lake City,
no miles; from Salt Lake City to
Denver, $50 miles; from Denver to
Omaha, 585 miles; from Omaha to Chi
cago, 500 miles. At Chicago the line
branches, one branch going to Pitts
burgh, 545 miles, and then to New
York, $50 miles from Pittsburgh. The
other branch goes from Chicago to
Buffalo, 603 miles, and then down to
New York, $50 miles. There is a con-
tinuation of the line from Buffalo to
Boston, 465 miles long. From Pitts
burgh there is a continuation extend
ing to Baltimore, $50 miles away on to
Washington, 265 miles. Philadelphia
is reached by a branch from the line
extending from Pittsburgh to New
York, connecting at Newtown Square
The diameter of the hard-drawn cop
per wire of number 8 B. w. G. gauge
used in the line is .165 inch. The total
weight of one circuit consisting of two
such wires is 1,48O tons. .
