Joining the wires in a great trunk nerve between New York and Chicago The Nerves of a Nation Tue magnitude of our present system of telephone communica- tion was beyond the thoughts of men fifty years ago. While at that time Bell, the inventor, had a prophetic vision of places and houses and factories connected by telephone, even he could not have foreseen the American city of skyscrapers with more tele- phones in one building than are to be found in many a foreign country. The massed multitudes of the modern city can no longer be served by wires strung in the air. We now have telephone cables no bigger than a man’s wrist each containing 2400 thread-like wires, carrying beneath the city streets their millions of spoken messages. Long distance cables overhead and underground con- nect cities with one another by storm-proof conductors, now be- ing extended into a country-wide network. At the present time nine-tenths of the 45,000,000 miles of tele- phone wire in the Bell System are in cable. The service of each telephone user has become more and more reliable with the exten- sion of this cable construction.
