Bell Telephone Magazine 1937 Vol 16 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Bell Telephone Magazine, 1937, Vol. 16 If in what follows I seem to dwell largely on the Bell System and on telephony, it is partly because of this predominant posi tion of the Bell System in the whole art of electrical communi cation, and partly because the technical problems of telephony are in general more difficult than the technical problems of telegraphy and, when solved satisfactorily, carry in that solu tion generally the automatic solution of a host of telegraph problems. With this preface related to the general aspects of our sub jcet, let me now turn to a brief historical review and to some of what seem to me the more important details of the problem.
