WAR W A S H IN G T O N , December 9, 1918. My dear Mr. Tell, The Chief Signal Officer, General Squier, hue called to opr attention the eplendld spirit of cooperation end helpfulness which has been evinced during the war by the wonderful engineering organization of the imerloan Telephone and Telegraph Company, '/the Airplane Radio Telephone Set, which has proven so satisfactory to the Air aervlee, and whlah has brought about entirely new methods of military use of alzplaiwe. Is a particular example of the result of this cooperation. The evolution and develoinent of this and other Itqportant apparatus •#ae made possible only because your engineering s taff freely furnished the highly technical knowledge end skill necessary In the development, design and manufacture of the eete. Please express to your engineers sy appreciation of the splendid service rendered. Tery truly youra. •i ---- - ... * e aeorot&ry of War. Mr. Theodore 8.

Remarkable Production Record of Western Electric Company. With the formal demouslration com pleted, pressure was immediately ap plied to produce the necessary quanti ty of sets with their multitude of aux iliary and subsidiary parts. From Jan uary 1, 1918, to the early summer of that year the Western Electric Com pany established factories and trained thousands of operatives so that when (( a LL of the ammunition used dur- ing the three days’ battle of Gettysburg would have lasted on the Western Front In the world war Just seven minutes.

Used by Both Army and Navy. In addition to radio telephone equip ments for both Army and Navy nir^ planes, it Is interesting to note that all of the vast fleet of submarine chasers which were fitted out In the United States were equipped with radio tele phone apimrutus, without which it would have been impossible for them to carry on the group tactics of a suc- should be maintained at the very high est possible point.

In all of esley Golden __ j these, part of tlie conversation was by wire from New York to the great Na val Radio Station at Arlington and thence by wireless to the distant re ceiving station. Shortly after this first announce ment, it will be remembered that radio telephone communication was estab- llslied between New York, via Arling ton, with the Eiffel Tower In Paris. Development Begun for Special Uses. Following this work, in the course of which had been developed funda mental circuits and arrangements, upon whlrii subsequent developments | had been based, the engineers of the Bell System, and particularly those of the Western Electric Company, under took the further development and com mercialization of radio telephony for special uses for which It seemed to be particularly adapted. First among these were obviously communication between ships, between airplanes in flight, and from ships or airplanes to land stations. Although tlie basic development work had been accomplished by the end of 1915, mucli yet remained to be done to render radio telephony pructl- ; cable in the fields Just enumerated. ; Tills was particularly true in the case of airplane service,>.wlicre limitations of space, weight, ami energy supply I were vital factors. So substantial was the foundation on which they built : and so vigorous was their prosecution j of the work that when tl..1 crisis arose In the early part of 1917 a solution of the specific military problem was well under way. Telephone Men Commiesioned and Or ganization Used In Signal Corps Work. When Congress in the early summer of 1916 passed legislation creating a Reserve Corps for the Army and Navy, the Signal Corps, as an Integral branch of the Army and under tlie able lead ership of Major-General George O. Squier, Chief Signal Officer, enlisted the co-operation of the Telephone and Telegraph Companies of the country and, with the untiring assistance of Mr. (now Colonel) J. J. Carty, Chief Engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., assembled a Re serve Corps of many thousand officers and men, all of whom were experts in various lines of Signal Corps work. The part of General Rquler's far sighted program which Is not generally known, but which has an Intimate bearing on the development of air plane radio, is that which pertains to tl>3 commissioning of Mr. Frank B. Jewett, Chief Engineer of the West ern Electric Company as a Major and later as a Lieutenant-Colonel In tb< Signal Corps. At the same time e number of,Mr Jewett's principal ae- ■latants were commissioned In the Sig nal Officers' Reserve Corps. Western Electric Company Plane Adopted by Government. On May 22, 1917, General Squier called Mr. Jewett to Washington foe e conference on airplane communica tion. Present at this conference In addition to the Chief Signal Officer were Colonel Roee^ the then British SECRETARY BAKER’S LETTER TO MR. VAIL. ward with all expedition. Captain Culver, who had had considerable ex perience in aviation and had perform ed a considerable number of airplane radio telegraph experiments, was as signed by the Chief Signal Officer to assist In tlie carrying on of the work. While Captain Culver was not a de veloper of equipment, he^ at all times rendered great assistance in testing out equipments which were developed. In securing the necessary field data. the workers of miracles have during the past year and a half witnessed the Fulling of thousands of their comrades to the battlefields of France and been stimulated thereby to superhuman ef forts in the production of Instruments 1 to safeguard their lives and Insure their ultimate victory.

At that time It was agreed that goods were to be sold at tlie several “Y\ centers at the purchase cost price, plus cost of transportation, and if any profits should arise the “Y\ would use them exclusively for the : men in the army.

In the fall of 1917 he was delegated by Colo nel Slaughter, the head of the Radio Division of the Signal Corps, to go overseas with some of the early sets of radio telephone equipment for a demonstration of the new facilities to the forces In France. First Tests at Langley Field in July, 1917. Following the conference of May 22, Colonel Jewett applied all of the re sources of the Western Electric Com pany to a furtherance of the develop ment. So great had been the progress since the 1915 experiments that under the stimulus of war pressure the en gineers of the Western Electric Com- pany were able to test out the first ra dio telephone sets on airplanes at Langley Field during the first week of July, 1917. Problems That Were Overcome by Achievement. Although the production of a light, compact, and fool-proof radio trans mitting and receiving set was a large problem In Itself, an even greater amount of time and skill was required in the development of a suitable pow er plant for the transmitting set, and the still more difficult problem of a telephone transmitter and receiver and their mounting to make speech possible arid audible above the roar and vibration of a huge, modem air plane propelled by the unmuffled ener gy of a 400-horsepower motor. When it Is appreciated that under normal conditions a passenger In an airplane cannot even hear himself talk, we can form some Idea of the prob lem which confronted Colonel Jewett and his assistants. The notability of the achievement Is evident from the result, which per- won the hearts of a ll: “Wonder of wonders! General Per shing asked us all to tea at his cha teau. We were taken there In limou sines, and Miss Anne Morgan poured tea. It rather threatened to be a stiff party until the General said: “ ‘Let’s take up the rug and have a little music.' “The General danced with almost idl of the guests, and believe me, he is some wonderful dancer. It turned out to be the most wonderfully jolly party. You know, the General is a most democratic, unspoiled-by-fanic man you would ever want to meet, ami we all lost our hearts to him.\ Miss Ethel Keyser of the Secom Group, appointed from Seattle, Wash, wrote: * “I must tell you now that General Pershing gave a tea Thanksgiving afternoon here at his chateau for the American women in the A. E. F. and that your youngest daughter danced with said General long enough to at tract attention, and Just before leuv Ing he thanked me for the dance, et cetera, et cetera, so that today my hat won't fit at all, and the telephone unit prides Itself on putting one over on canteen supplies to American soldiers by the Y.

There is no mention of the free use of athletic supplies valued at over $1,000,000; no mention of $600.00 item for stationery fur- nished the soldiers who wrote home upon It more than 14,000,000 letters; no mention of the gigantic entertain ment programs.” It should be kept In mind that the Y. M. C. A., at the request of the army authorities, was put up against a prac- tlcaliy impossible proposition. It was asked to lake charge of a great busi ness spending $100,000,000 a year.
