Selling is a 1947 magazine article about: Alexander Graham Bell, Telephone Title: Miracle Men of the Telephone Author: F. Barrows Colton Quoting the first page “In observance of the centennial of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, on March 3, 1947, the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE presents this story of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, which carryon the work that Dr. Bell began. Dr. Bell was one of the original members of the National Geographic Society when it was founded in 1888. While President of The Society, 1898 to 1903, he initiated the extension of its membership and the popularization of its Magazine. He contributed to the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE and served as a trustee of The Society until his death in 1922. Mrs. Bell and her family gave The Society its first building, Hubbard Memorial Hall, in memory of Gardiner Greene Hubbard, first President of the Bell Telephone Company and first President of the National Geographic Society. In a quiet room in downtown New York I sat one day with a scientist and a man who had been totally deaf from birth. He never had heard a human voice. Before us were a small luminescent screen, a microphone, and some complicated electrical apparatus. Turning so that the deaf man could not read his lips, the scientist spoke into the microphone. As he talked, a series of patterns of dull greenish-yellow lines and shadows moved slowly across the screen, rising and falling, now blurred, now sharp. Watching the screen, the deaf man smiled and repeated aloud the words the scientist had spoken-words he could not hear. “All of it was perfectly clear,” he said. “I can read those patterns now about as easily as print.” What he was reading was “visible speech,” a by-product of the never-ending study of transmission of the human voice carried on at Bell Telephone Laboratories. With it, spoken words are turned into visible patterns on a screen that it is possible to learn to read. Like shorthand, they are patterns not of words but of sounds. They provide a new way of studying speech and, better still, a new way for the deaf to “hear by seeing”. “Visible speech” is only one of the countless achievements of the more than 2,000 scientists and engineers of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. They, with as many more associates, carry on today in this great research institution the work begun more than 70 years ago in a Boston attic by Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. These men today are “inventing” the telephone of tomorrow. Amazing things they do, make them seem indeed like “miracle men.” Yet, like all scientists, they actually get results only by long, hard work, over months and years. “Our job, essentially, is to devise and develop facilities which will enable two human beings anywhere in the world to talk to each other as clearly as if they were face to face and to do this economically as well as efficiently,” Dr. O. E. Buckley, President of Bell Laboratories, told me. “To this end we study everything from the most fundamental matters, such as the mechanism of speech and hearing and the molecular structure of copper wire and rubber insulation, to the detailed design of equipment. We’re equally interested in an operator’s enunciation and in building her switchboard for long life.” Everything that happens to human speech between the brain of a speaker in Los Angeles and the brain of the man he is calling, either…” 7” x 10”, 44 pages, 24 B&W photos These are pages carefully removed from an actual 1947 magazine. 47C1 Please note the flat-rate shipping for my magazine articles.
