Ia ~ HIS busy, progressive nation is today at
|RSa E the dawn of new era of commercial
IksS k and social development. The means by
lAzzGAg which the human voice, with it's slightest
infections and indications of personality,
can be carried across the continent instantly,
have been provided. Talking by telephone from
New York to San Francisco is accom-
p1ished fact
The celebration of this latest and greatest
triumph in the art of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have,
ready for its use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
thc and technical skill, transcontinental tele-
phone service, the equal of which is not even
approached in all the other nations of the world.
1t is a splendid scientific achievement of the
very highest character. The power that sends
greater than that of breath, yet the means
imaginary impulse, made up of as many as 1900
separate vibrations second, can be picked up
by delicate instrument, conserved over dis
lance of 3,400 miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent. The human
voice has been made to travel as fast light,
faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus;
indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even, in the swift
ness of its flight.
The imagination can but feebly grasp, much
less attempt to measure, the far-reaching signih-
canoe of such a tremendous accomplishment.
One hundred million people will have for their
daily use system of communication that knows

standing, the more intimate conradeship that the
human voice establishes The neighborlness OF
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
of the physical restraints of centuries.
This contribution to the future happiness and
prosperity of closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming Of few isolated, concrete difficulties.
It's success has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution was found only in the cumulative eff
feet of improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus or plant required
in the transmission of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department. of the Bell System of which this
Company is part, has been engaged since
the telephone became a commercial possibility,
less than 40 years ago. With no traditions to
follow and no experience to guide, this depart
ment, which is now directed by a staff of over
$50 engineers and scientists, including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in
vestigators-the graduates of lao universities
has created an entirely new art--the art of tele-
phony and has given TO the people of this coun-
try a telephone service that has no equal.
It has required vast expenditures of money
and immense concentration of effort, but these
have been justified by results of immeasurable
benefit to the public. The transcontnenta1 tele-
phone line, 3400 miles long, joining the Atlantic
and Pacific is part of the Bell System of 81 600 900
miles of wire connecting 100000 telephone sta
tons, located everywhere throughout the United
States. Composing this system are the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company and AS
ISOLATED Companies and connecting companies
