10 Men and the Telephone - 1961

FOREWORD

In 1878, when his great invention was only two years old,
Alexander Graham Bell dreamed of a vast telephone network
that would unite every American city, town and village.
He lived to see it happen ... and to see the beginning of a
world-wide system that today makes each and every telephone
a link to almost any place on the face of the earth.
It took a great many men to make Bell's dream come true,
however; men with ideas, imagination, talent and courage.
Bell himself, in his later years, said: "The telephone system
as we now know it is the product of many, many minds, to
whom honor should be given for the wonderful and beneficial
work it has accomplished." This booklet contains glimpses into
the lives of ten of these men ... ten out of the countless thousands
who have helped to create today's far-flung telephone services.
