Telephone Achievements

TELEPHONE SERVICE

In no line of human endeavor has the inventive brain of the scientist contributed more to the world's progress than by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Bell system is the embodiment. When the telephone was born, nothing analogous to telephone service as we now know it existed. There was no tradition to guide, no experience to follow. The system, the apparatus, the methods an entire new art had to be created. The art of electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell pioneers, recognizing that success depended upon the highest engineering and technical skill at once organized an experimental and research department which is now directed by a staff of over 550 engineers and scientists, including former professors, post-graduate students, scientific investigators the graduates of over 70 universities. From its foundation the company has continuously developed the art. New improvements in telephones, switchboards, lines, cables have followed one another with remarkable rapidity. While each successive type of apparatus to the superficial observer suggested similarity, each step in the evolution marked a decided Improvement. These changes, this evolution, has not only been continuous, but is continuing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, including telephones, switchboards, cables and wires, has been constructed, renewed or reconstructed in the past 10 years. Particularly in switchboards have the changes been so radical that installations costing in the aggregate millions have frequently been discarded after only a few years of use. Since 1877 there have been introduced 53 types and styles of receivers and 73 types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,000 telephone receivers and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January 1, 1914, none were in use prior to 1902, while the average age is less than five years. Within 10 years we have expended for construction and reconstruction an amount more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant. -

Long-distance and underground transmission was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telephone experts. The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone current often impaired conversation through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead conversation had its distinct limitations. No possible improvement in the telephone transmitter could of Itself solve these difficulties. The solution was only found In the cumulative effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and every other piece of apparatus or plant required in the transmission of speech. While the limit of commercial overhead talking had increased from strictly local to

WET AND DRY COMMUNICATIONS NICHOLSON'S 8TATEMENT. The following statement was handed out from dry headquarters this morning, signed by Chairman Nicholson. A report has reached us that certain letters have been received by Rev. Albert J. Feeger, of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church, censuring him for his supposed position on the local option question. We are not informed as to the exact contents of the letters, except that they were evidently offensive. We have learned that the letters were unsigned, and it looks to the Citizens' Committee as though it were a clumsy and despicable trick of the wets in the effort to make capital for their cause. The Citizens' Committee not only does not countenance the writing of these letters, but condemns the action in the most vigorous manner possible. We cannot conceive that any friend of the dry cause in Richmond could have been guilty of such an act, especially as Dr. Feeder's course in this campaign has been dignified and above reproach. S. E. NICHOLSON. Chairman.

OF TO DAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL CO

over 1,000 miles as early as 1893, it was not until 1905 that conversation could be had over long-distance circuits of which as much as 20 miles was in underground cables. By 1906 underground talking distance had Increased to 90 miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk underground from New York to Washington. It was then that the construction of underground conduits from Boston to Washington was determined upon, not that it was expected to get a through underground talk between those places, but in case of storm or blizzard, to utilize Intermediate sections in connection with the overhead. Our persistent study and incessant experimentation have produced results more remarkable eti II. We have perfected cables, apparatus and methods that have overcome obstacles heretofore regarded as insuperable both to long-distance overhead and underground conversation. Underground conversation Is now possible be-tween Boston and Washington, four times the length of the longest European underground line. This enabled the Bell system In the recent great storm, so destructive on land and sea, to maintain communication for the public between all the principal points on the Atlantic seaboard. Telephone communication is established between New York and Denver, Is potentially possible between all points in the United States, and by 1915 will be an accomplished fact between New York and San Francisco. In our use of methods or apparatus, we are committed to no one system. We own, control or have the right to use Inventions necessary to operate any system recognized or accepted as the most efficient. The Bell System must always recognize, and in its selection must always be governed by the necessities of a national service, with its complex requirements, which Is infinitely more exacting than local or limited service. These achievements represent vast expenditures of money and immense concentration of effort which have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit to the public. No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden of this work. Such results are possible only through a centralized general staff, avoiding wasteful duplication of effort, working out problems common to all, for the benefit of all. The pioneers of the Bell System recognized that telephone service as they saw it, was In the broadest sense a public utility; that upon them rested a public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk, Investment and the continued improvement and maintenance of its property. Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could not have been developed. What we have done in working out these great problems in the past should be accepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future. THEO. N. VAIL. President.
