I players. But if we were to
judge them the way we judge
telephone equipment, we'd take the
small one.
,K You see, telephone equipment occu-
pies valuable space, uses costly mate-
rials. Paring down its size helps keep
down the cost of telephone service.
Take voice amplifiers, for example.
Telephone engineers put the squeeze
on size, camc up with a new small
type. When 600 of these new ampli
fiers are mounted on a frame two feet
wide and el&ven feet high, they do a
job which once required a roomful of
equipment. Size was cut —but not
performance!
This is one of many cases where the
Bell System has made big things small
to help keep the cost of telephone
service low.
