A new English term has emerged from telephone engineers, the decibel. Named to honor Alexander Graham Bell, it denotes one tenth of a bel and measures transmission efficiency in telephone lines and devices. Originating in 1923 as TU, the unit now guides design and maintenance of telephone facilities.
Reports show 2.8 million dollars will fund St Louis telephone expansion this year. Global installations reached about 1.8 million last year with over 800k in the United States. New York has 445 central offices, Columbus handles three trans Atlantic calls, and a 101 year old Sabetha resident used a telephone for the first time.
