HOY u TRIUMPH HIS busy, progressive nation is today at the dawn of a new era of commercial B£ jjjpaj and social development. The means by which the human voice with its sH .• ::;t inflections and indications of personality, can be carried across the continent instantly, have been provided. Talking by telephone from New Yo-ir to San Francisco is now an accom­ plished fact. The celebration of this latest and greatest triumph in the art of telephony has just taken place. Within a short time the public will have, ready for its use, the product of American brains, American initiative and American scien­ tific and technical skill, a transcontinental tele­ phone service, the equal of which is not even approached in all the other nations of the world. It is a splendid scientific achievement of the very highest character. The power that sends the human voice out over the telephone is scarcely greater than that of a breath, yet the means have been provided by which this tiny, almost imaginary impulse, made up of as many as 2,000 separate vibrations a second, can be picked up by a delicate instrument, conserved over a dis­ tance of 3,400 miles, and reproduced perfectly and instant'v across the continent. The human voice has been made to travel' as fast as light, faster than sound unaided by technical apparatus; indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even, in the swift­ ness of its flight. The imagination can but feebly grasp, much less attempt to measure, the far-reaching signifi­ cance of suph a tremendous accomplishment. One hundred million people will have for their daily use a system of communication that knows no East, no West, no North, no South. Dialects, provincialisms, sectional prejudices, must event­ ually yield to the closer union, the better under­ standing, the more intimate comradeship that the humnn voice establishes. The neighhorliness of a whole nation ir, advanced by the brushing away of the ?l'.ys:'*3l r istraints of centuries. This contribution ;o the future happiness and prosperity of a more closely united people has not been brought' about, however, by the over­ coming of a few isolata-i, concrete difficulties. Its success has lependeo upon the exercise of the highest eng. leering and technical skill and the solution wat, found only in the cumulative ef­ fect of improvements great and small, in tele­ phone, transmitter, line, cable, switchboard, and every other piece of apparatus or plant required ir. the transmission of Speech. In iliis work the experimental and research department of the Bell Systeir of which this Company is a part, has been engaged ever since the telephone beuime a commercial possibility, less than 40 yea.T ago. Wit.a no traditions to follow and no ox. «ncuce to guide, this depart­ ment, which is new directed by a staff of over 560 engineers and scientists, including former professors, post graduate students, scientific in­ vestigators^-- the graduates oi 140 universities- has created ar» entirely ne«r art--the art of tele­ phony, and has given to the people of this coun­ try a telephone service that has no equal. It has required vast expenditures of money ?.nd immense concentration of effort, but these have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit to the pubHc. The transcontinental tele­ phone line, 3,400 miles long, joining the Atlantic and Racific, is part of the System of 21,000,000 miles of wire connecting 9.-K-0.000 telephone sta­ tions, located everywhere throughout the United States. Composinr this svr.tem are the American Telephone and T'.-legraph Company and As­ sociated Companies and connecting companies, giving universal service to 100,000,000 people.
