What the American Voice is Good For
A London dispatch to the New York Sun notes an American physician finds American voices better suited for telephone use than British ones. He explains London’s service is blamed on British vocal cords lacking timbre for wires, while Americans speak with a carrying quality that makes telephoning pleasant. English voices, he says, are less compatible, making the phone seem torturous to Britons.
