Telegraphy in the bell system

This paper on “Telegraphy in the bell system” is a companion paper for the one prepared by the representatives of the Western Union Telegraph Company on “American Telegraphy After 100 Years” and the one by representatives of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company on “Developments in the Field of Cable and Radiotelegraph Communications.” This paper reviews some of the activities in telegraphy carried on by the various units of the Bell System in connection with the furnishing of private-line telegraph and teletypewriter exchange service. Frequent reference is made to the various publications covering these activities, and only those items which have not been disclosed previously are covered in any detail.
