From en old wood engraving published in the “Scientific American” Winning nature’s secrets Every day that passes records some new advance in the telephone art. Constant experiment and observation are winning new secrets of chemistry, of electricity and magnetism, and of matter. Nature’s unseen quarry is yielding to the researches of the laboratory that exact scientific knowledge which is among the telephone engineer's most priceless resources. The workshop of the telephone engineer is a scientific laboratory. Here he studies and experiments with principles and laws of our physical environment and sets them to aid us in our daily lives. Forty-nine years ago the telephone was born in a scientific labo- ratory—a very small laboratory, to be sure, as it numbercd in its personnel none but Bell and his assistant. As the Bell System has grown that laboratory has grown, and as the laboratory has grown the telephone has grown in efficiency, in distance covered, in numbers, in perfection. Countless are the milestones marking progress in the telephone art that have come from the laboratory. Today the laboratory numbers among its personnel 3000 em- ployees, more than half of whom are skilled scientists and engineers. Headed by a vice-president of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, it is known as the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., and forms an indispensable department of the Bell System.
