We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Symbol We rather like this photo of our Floyd Conn . . . we think it's symbolic. Here Floyd, who is a Western Electric installer, is soldering telephone cable in a new Bell central office . . . helping install dial switching equipment made at our factories. And the connection he makes symbolizes the close bond that exists between ourselves and Bell telephone communities— including yours — through telephone service. Each month, Western Electric installers are busy on about 4,000 separate jobs in over 500 cities and towns across the country . . . making additions, modifying equipment, changing manual switching equipment to dial service — to mention a few. By working closely with Bell telephone companies — as we have now for 75 years as the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System — we become part of the community's Bell telephone service.
