The telephone is in universal use to.
day, but many of those who use it con-
stantly fail to realize the magnitude
Of the system behind it, or stop to
think of the multitude of complicated,
yet vital, features that are involved
in its operation.
Spectacular developments in the tele-
phone art during the past few years.
such as radiotelephony, telephotogra-
ply, teleyisfon, and transatlantic COM
muAieation, have served to increase
the public's interest and the telephone
manager is constantly called upon to
discuss and explain these develop
ments.
Managers are always not only will
ing. but glad to make these talks. 1t
has been found that the better the
public understands the telephone sys.
tenn and its operation, the more it Is
willing to extend the measure of CO.
operation with the company. which is
necessary in order to give the most
satisfactory service.

ForeS. The TG1C silk Is then reeIed
Silk, one of the oldest fabrics known,
is now used more generally than ever
before in the history of civilization.
Silk is used extensively for clothing,
lad the wardrobe of the well-dressed
Noman OF today is largely composed
Of silken things. Silk also plays an
important part in industry. Among
che largest users of this commodity
in the communications field are the
telephone and telegraph companies.
Silk is strong, flexible and a good
insulator. all OF which makes it prac-
ticable for telephone use. Silken
threads wrapped around the current
carrying wires or braided over groups
of wires to hold them together, not
only protect them but improve their
appearance.
A large part of the silk brought to
this country is usedS by the Bell sys-
ten. In every telephone switchboard
there are thousands DIT feet of silken
tn ads that encase the copper GOV.
cred wires. The covering Of each
switchboard cord that makes the con-
nection between telephone users, as
well as the receiver cords and cords
connecting the telephone with the, bell
box contain silken threads.
