In no line of human endeavor has the in
ventive brain of the scientist contributed
more to the world's progress than by thu
f creation of the art of telephony, of "which
the Bell system is the embodiment.
When the telephone was horn, nothing an
alagous to telephone service tvs 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 lie 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 experi
mental and research department which is
now directed by a staff of over 550 ettgin
i eers and scientists, including former profes
sors, post-graduate students, scientific in
j vestigators—the graduates of over 70 uni
versities.
From its foundation the company has con
tinuously developed the art. New improve
ments in telephones, switchboards, lines,
cables, have followed one another with re
[ markable rapidity.
| While each successive type of apparatus
to the superficial observer suggested f.imi
larity, each step in the evolution marked a
H decided improvement. These changes, this
f| evolution, has not only been continuous, but
M is continuing. Substantially all of th plant
■ now in use. includim. telephone witch*
£ boards, cables and wires na- been con
pi strutted, renewed or reconstructed in the
Jj past ten years.
i| Particularly in switchboards have the
i| changes been so radical that installations
If costing millions have frequently been dis
ip carded after only a few years of use.
p Since 1*77 there have been introduced 53
# types and styles of receivers and 7.'! types
' and styles of transmitters. Of the 12.000,
j& 000 telephone receivers and transmitters
owned by the Bell Company January 1, 191 I.
none were in use prior to 1902, while the av
erage age is less than five years
! Within ten years we have expended for
construction and reconstruction an amount
| more than equal to the present hook value
of our entire pant.
Long distance and under-ground trans
I mission was the most formidable scientific
problem confronting- telephone experts.
The retarding effect of the earth on the
telephone current often impaired conversa
tion 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 dif
ficulties.
’ The solution was only found in the cumu
lative effect of improvements, great and
small, in telephone, transmitter, line, cable,
switchboard, and every other piece of ap
paratus or plant required in the transmis
sion of speech.
( While the limit of commercial overhead
talking had increased from strictly local
to over 1,000 miles as early as 1893, it was
not until 1905 that conversation could he

Our persistent study and inco.
perimentation have produced rt?sulu
remarkable still.
We have perfected cables, apparatus i
methods that have overcome obstacles hei
tofore regarded as insuperable lioth to long
distance overhead and underground con
versation.
Underground conversation is now possible
between Boston and Washington, four times
the length of the longest European under
ground line. This enabled the Boll System
in the recent great storm, so destructive
on land and sea, to maintain communica
tion for the public between all the princi
pal points oil the Atlantic seaboard.
Telephone communication is established
between New York and Denver, is potenti
ally possible between all points in the
United States, and by 101.“ will be an ac
complished 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 recogniz
ed or acepted .*.> most efficient. The Hell \
Sy -tem must always recognize and in its se- L
lection must always be governed by the
necessities of a national service, with its
complex requirements, which is infinitely
more exacting than local or limited serv
ice.
These achievements represent vast ex- K
penditures of money and immenseconcentra
tion of effort which have been justified by
results of immeasurable benefit to the
public. No local company unaided could !
bear tbe financial or scientific burden j
of this work. Such results are possible S
only through a centralized general staff,
avoiding wasteful duplication of elfort,
working out problems common to all, for ;
the benefit of all. j
The pioneers of the Rell System recog- ;
nized 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, in
vestment 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 devel
oped.
What we have done in working out these
great problems in the past should he ac
cepted as a guarantee of what we will do !
in the future.
