or cable.
Just as sound waves travelling thru
the air gradually die away the farther
they go, so do the electrical currents
carrying the voice waves over the
long distance circuit weaken as they
proceed away from the speaker. To
overcome this difficulty the engineers
of the telephone company developed
the repeater equipment which is used
universally on cable and open wire tel
ephone routes throughout the coun-
try.
The first telephone repeater to be
used commercially was installed on a
long distance circuit between Boston
and Amesbury, Mass. This was known
as mechanical type repeater. 1t en-
ployed device somewhat similar to
the present telephone transmitter. This
type of repeater was used more or
less successfully for a number of
years, but after the vacuum tube re-
peater was developed the old type was
replaced.
The present type repeaters are
vacuum tube ampliiers similar in
principle to the amplifier used in the
Bell public address system and in ra-
dio receiving sets where suitable
transformers for connection to the
, line circuits are employed. The first
important use of this type of repeater
was ON the transcontinental telephone
circuit which was placed in service
between New York and San Francisco
on January %, 1915. This circuit
contained three repaters, located at
Pittsburgh, Omaha and Salt Lake
City. Since that date the use of the
telephone repeaters has increased rap
idly until at the present time they are
being used in large numbers through
out the country, enabling the human
voice to be transmitted to distant
points clearly and accurately.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1927-08-04

en- the telephone system an opportu-
nifty to demonstrate the fact that
universal service" is not meaning
less phrase. 1t emphasizes the fact
that the network Of telephone lines,
linking the 100000 telephones in
the United States together make ev-
cry section accessible to every other
section of the country.
The construction of telephone lines
in the Black Hills is more individual,
however, and it was necessary for the
telephone engineers to use a consid-
cradle amount of ingenuity in con-
structing the lines in the narrow val
leys and canyons where in many cases
it was necessary to use side cross
arms on the poles which were set in
solid rock against the cliffs. Due to
the roughness of the country the
wires span short valleys and deep
crevices in great many places, but,
recognizing the fact that ga chain is
only as strong as its weakest link"
the engineers have used extra precau-
tons to make the construction heavy
enough to carry the strain.
Up to few years ago long distance
calls over distances such as connec-
tions are established today could not
be made, for the equipment to make
such service possible had not been de-
veloped. Even now people frequently
ask what type of apparatus has been
provided to make such long distance
conversations possible?" The answer
is the telephone repeater. Without
the use of telephone repeaters it would
not be possible to transmit speech be-
tween distant points through cable
and without the use of cable the con-
struction cost of long distance lines
would make toll rates almost prohibi-
tive, as compared with established
rates.
On open wire lines where wires are
spaced about one foot apart the voice
energy does not diminish as rapid!
as it does when travelling over thu
closely spaced wires of the cable
For this reason it is necessary to es
tablish repeater stations at intervals
of about so miles along cable route.
so that the transmission may be boost
ed from time to time as required, bu
the telephone repeaters are indispen
sable to long distance conversations

President Coolidge at his summer
headquarters in the Black Hills of
South Dakota keeps in touch with
the affairs of the nation by telephone.
The facilities of the system are al
ways at the disposal of the nation, and
just because the Chief Executive
planned to spend his summer holiday
in this semi-isolated section is no rea-
son for people thinking that he is out
of touch with the country at large.
In reality the Black Hills have a
high standing with middle-west vaca-
tionists and in the past few years the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Com
pany has added many lines to the net
work of wires which connect practi-
cally every town, camp and mining
section in this mountainous area with
the telephone system of the country.
The state game lodge, which is in
reality the Summer White House.,
has three telephone lines which termi-
nate in a private branch exchange
switchboard installed in the Rapid
City high school building where the
executive offices are located, 32 miles
away.
The same method of handling calls
for the President has been adopted
that is used in Washington. Tele-
phone calls for the Chief Executive 60
first to the official private branch ex-
change switchboard in the executive
offices where the operator refers the
call to the secretary of the President
or one of the assistant secretaries.
Unless the call is of unusual impor-
tance it probably goes no further than
the secretary. The secretary, of course
either properly disposes of the mat
ter or has it referred to the President
at his convenience, whic his the rou-
tine followed in Washington.
From this P. B. x. board there are
trunk lines to the Rapid City long dis
lance switchboard. From this board
there is direct long distance line tc
