have employment on this side of the

searches for the benefit of the tele-
phone art. ...
Television, that wonder dreamed
of by the imaginative Jules Verne
in 1892, but laughed at by the more
practical minded people of his time,
was demonstrated first by the Bell
Laboratories. And talking movies,
too, came from that work shop.
But, says DR.. Jewett, these wonders
that have surprised people, even III
an age when it is said nothing is
impossible, are no more than by
products of the laboratories.
The organization primarily is
occupied in working for the tele,
phone as every one knows it today.
The biggest problem seems to be to
solve the riddles of local transmits
sion and switching to care for large
telephone centers, such as Los An
geles. The modern telephone
switchboard came from the labor
atories as also did the present dial
system which was perfected only
after twenty-five years of research.
Had these and many other improve
ments not been perfected, tele-
phones in a big city exchange might
cost 80 much that the average man
simply could not afford them, says
DR.. Jewett.
Many Doubters Originally
When transatlantic telephone
service was opened formally be-
tween here and London, over a year
ago, many people just couldn t
think it practically. Later con
nection was made with points in
Belgium, Holland, Germany, Den
mark, Sweden, Norway, Switzer-
land and with Paris and now trans
atlantic telephoning has increased
so rapidly that the business al
ready approaches the capacity.
Now the laboratories are working
on the problem of getting added
cross-oeean channels to handle the
talking. There are so few avail
able radio channels in the world to.
day it is going to be very difficult
to get enough to handle the daily
calls over the radio circuit, accord
ing to DR.. ;Jewett.
In telephoning does your voice
always travel over individual wires
No, says Dr. Jewett. 1t passes and
follows other voices which are on
the same wires in calls over great
distances. The laboratories have
perfected way by which messages
on the same wires do not get mixed
up.
Recently the laboratories placed
the new Bell System hand telephone
on the Slarket. This instrument
can be used conveniently in any
position without impairment to
