Subways of Speech
13 ENEATH the streets of the cities run telephone
1 J subways that carry the talk trains of great ^jopu-
lations. To put thousands of wires underground,
to hide them cleverly away under streets and buildings
and still keep them efficient transmitters of speech, is a
task requiring constant watchfulness and high engineer-
ing ability. Thus the network of wires that once hung
above the cities is eliminated and the streets cleared of
poles.
Like these subways of speech it is a peculiarity of the
telephone world that there are many invisible parts of
the Bell system that work quietly and effectively for the
public good.
