Vocal cords made of coal/ Typical of Western Electric care and precision in manufacturing Bell Telephone apparatus, is the making of the transmitter button which transforms spoken words"into electrical impulses.

This transmitter button- the telephone's vocal cords- contains coal. Only a fine grade of selected anthracite, specially treated, is suited for this delicate work. First the coal is ground into fine granular fonn- next it is carefully sifted and washed. Then, aher being roasted in special ovens, it is put into the transmitter buttop. Approximately 50,000 tiny grains must go into each button -too few or too many would impair transmission.

Such infinite care with "little things" is one reason why Bell System apparatus serves so faithfully.
