Those who would attempt solve these problems through

The development of special dlminu
tive-sized loud speaker apparatus by
the Bell Telephone Laboratories en-
ables groups of people widely separ-
ated to be united by what is known as
a conference telephone service. This
service, described by ]. F. D. Hoge,
telephone laboratories engineer, en-
ables a telephone conversation to be
held simultaneously with several peo-
pie at one or both ends Of telephone
line.
The equipment consists of a small
compact loud speaker set, which Is
housed in wooden cabinet. The total
weight is approximately eleven pounds,
but it has sufficient sound output to
serve group of from rs to 100 people
under favorable room conditions.
Two forms of service are available,
according to Mr.. Hoge in the Bell Lab
oratories Record. In one, the telephone
line may be connected to either the
telephone set or the loud speaker This
service is more applicable where an
address of some length is to be received
over the telephone line during which
time it is not desired to use the line for
talking in the other direction. Tnis
loud speaker set and associated appa-
ratus may be installed on permanent
basis or for temporary use as occasion
demands. Another connection may be
established so that two-way conversa-
tions can be held just as in everyday
telephone calls.
Conference telephone service with
the use of loud speakers has particu-
lar appeal to business executives who
wish to speak directly without change
or emphasis with groups of people.
Employees, for example, may hear the
executives voice directly as though he
were speaking to them personally. In
this way his personality and enthusi-
asm come to them just as if he were in
the same room. This type of loud
speaker was developed in 1888. and is
now widely used. according to tele-
phone officials.
