The use <of cables as a substi for open wires in orâ€" der to reduce the congestion in thickâ€" ly populated iti;?,wup not, howaver, the first phase of itheir devplopnlt;:t. The principal earliest use of cables for telephone purposes :Tu to carry wires across , either by placing them on bri or in tunnely or alâ€" lowing them to rest on the bed of the stream.. In experimental cables were laid undérground for a short distance‘ al a railroad track in Massachu: , and soon thereafter the first un 1 cables for comâ€" mercial use were m‘d in .Beston and Brooklyn, & ibers using the cable> could | not, talk ~satisfactorily further than ‘tq the suburbs. In 1887, however, the> &m;sful ‘introduction of the cables placed ;today, although ductor, plution the urfider- ground construction ‘and payed! the way for the extensivé use of cables. Up to that|time ess, of course, had been slow. For gxample, in 1885, the total e mileage underground in New, York City, where it naturally was needed most, was about the.same as would be contained in & quarters mile Kength f modern 1200â€"pair caâ€" ble.© By 1889, a few cables containing 50 rircuits were successfully installed and operated. ‘These cables were two inches ‘in diameter,. Since then the technique of making telephone cables had advanced steadily so that many o fthe cables placed today, although Only 2 5â€"8. inches in: diameter, ‘conâ€" tain as many as 2400 wires. _ ; . Every year has seen an increasing amount of erground :cable added to the plant of the Bell System. [For example, the year 1892 witnessed 20,â€" :000 miles of| wire added to the underâ€" ground plant. h.ed ${8 7 Up to that|time pr had been slow. For the total e mile in New York City, It would be difficult to imagine a modern city with overhead wires; in fakt, development ‘as it . is These unflerground |cables, upon entering the|modern central te!ep,gqn,k office, pass dijrectly into what is known as the énbl_e aults. . Like huge, slugâ€" gish snakes they appear, with gray bodies .cu upwards toward| the ceiling wherte they disappear from view. _From there they ‘ go to;; the terminal where the cables| end and the â€"wires are fanned out to begin sneir twisting and combings on their ay to the |switchboard. ts ; . ~ | Phe 1 Gain : } This was consgidered a phenomenal gain, but in 1022, just 30 years later, two r‘nillfod ‘miles were addedâ€"one hundred ‘times as much as in 1892.
