about as reasonable as picking up a
handful of shadow. Yet that is just
what is done by the oscillograph, an
instrument in use in the experimental
and research laboratories of the Bell

graph is used is to improve the trans

tangible commodity such as stores
do but actually enables the subscrib-
ers to exchange their ideas by carry
ing their speech.
On this principle the company believes
that the more clearly it can carry the
tone Of voice the better people can ex-

Bell System is constantly making tests
and trying out new methods.
Thousands of voices have actually
been photographed in the laboratories
with interesting results.
In the testing done with the Oscillo-
graph, the electric current carrying the
voice is sent through two very fine
wires, to which is fastened. between
the wires, a minute piece of looking
glass.
The other equipment used is an arc
light and a strip of Photographic film
wound on a drum.
