00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:17.200
the

2
00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:24.500
well to tell you the truth were very you didn't Charlie all they did was ask you

3
00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:27.220
All you did was ask me how I am.

4
00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:29.220
And all I want to do is tell you.

5
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:31.060
Charlie, cool it, cool it, will ya?

6
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:32.860
I just said a simple hello.

7
00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:34.340
People say it all the time.

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.740
Simple hello?

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.900
You asked me how I am, and I'm going to tell you.

10
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:42.760
I know I asked you, but it's just an expression I use.

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.060
It doesn't mean anything.

12
00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:46.460
Look, people ask people all the time how they are.

13
00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:47.880
They don't mean anything by it.

14
00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:51.180
My gosh, if everyone I asked told me how they felt,

15
00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:52.560
I'd never get to work on time.

16
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.540
Oh, come on, Charlie.

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:55.640
Knock it off, will ya?

18
00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:57.600
Look, I'm going to pick up a newspaper

19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:58.580
before the train gets here.

20
00:00:58.600 --> 00:00:59.760
Yeah, but Henry, when did you hear what happened?

21
00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:01.340
Look, we'll talk about it later, Charlie.

22
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:01.920
But Henry.

23
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.740
Yeah, I tell you what, we'll have lunch later.

24
00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:07.520
But Henry, I need to tell you something.

25
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.520
Sometimes people get together.

26
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:29.020
Sometimes not.

27
00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:31.780
People talking and people listening.

28
00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:36.200
Understanding each other or not understanding at all.

29
00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:39.580
Communicating is a basic need we all share.

30
00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:44.020
Today, we have the means to exchange our ideas and emotions

31
00:01:44.020 --> 00:01:46.900
with people close to us or very far away.

32
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:55.880
Hello?

33
00:01:57.440 --> 00:01:57.660
Mom?

34
00:01:58.260 --> 00:01:58.680
Hey.

35
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:00.780
Where are you?

36
00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:01.240
Where?

37
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:02.220
Are you all right?

38
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:03.380
I'm all right.

39
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.880
Come on home.

40
00:02:06.100 --> 00:02:07.120
I had to go away.

41
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.700
I didn't know what to do when I...

42
00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:10.820
Mom, I just had to get away for a few days.

43
00:02:10.880 --> 00:02:12.240
What's your father's barrier?

44
00:02:12.260 --> 00:02:14.800
Mother, we've got to talk and Dad has to talk

45
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.860
and we all have to talk.

46
00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:18.360
OK.

47
00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:20.360
I'll take the bus home tonight.

48
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:22.540
And we'll meet you, OK?

49
00:02:22.540 --> 00:02:22.540


50
00:02:22.540 --> 00:02:23.380
OK.

51
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.540
The world of communications carries an unceasing flow

52
00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:32.360
of information and ideas.

53
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.440
This network is made up of millions of miles of wire

54
00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:39.920
and billions of parts.

55
00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:43.480
But most important, this communications network

56
00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:45.920
is made up of the people who make it work.

57
00:03:51.720 --> 00:03:52.160
The world of communications

58
00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:52.160


59
00:03:52.160 --> 00:03:52.260
and the world of communication

60
00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:52.260


61
00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:52.260


62
00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:52.260


63
00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:52.260


64
00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:52.400
is a world of communication

65
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:52.520
and the world of communication

66
00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:22.160
is a world of communication

67
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:22.240
and the world of communication

68
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:22.260
is a world of communication

69
00:04:22.260 --> 00:04:22.500
and the world of communication

70
00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:52.120
is a world of communication

71
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:52.120


72
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:22.100
and the world of communication

73
00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:22.180
is a world of communication

74
00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:22.200
and the world of communication

75
00:05:22.200 --> 00:05:22.260
is a world of communication

76
00:05:25.260 --> 00:05:29.880
and the world of communication

77
00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:29.880


78
00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:29.880


79
00:05:29.880 --> 00:05:34.420
is a world of communication

80
00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:49.640
You know, like, some people do something

81
00:05:49.640 --> 00:05:51.600
and they can't see it finally finished.

82
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.180
Like, that's why with telephones, you know,

83
00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:54.440
I should fix something, you know,

84
00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:55.660
I feel great about the whole thing.

85
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.160
I don't count it as working,

86
00:05:57.220 --> 00:05:59.820
I count it as accomplishing something, you know.

87
00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:24.100
Our people at Western Electric

88
00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:25.520
are at the heart of the network.

89
00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:27.920
We manufacture and install

90
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.840
thousands of devices needed to keep

91
00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:31.140
the Bell System operating.

92
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.020
Our job is to get it all together.

93
00:06:54.380 --> 00:06:57.000
The communications needs of one neighborhood

94
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.960
are different from the needs of another,

95
00:06:59.460 --> 00:07:02.100
as are the needs of one business from another.

96
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.800
From all of the possible combinations

97
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.320
of Western Electric equipment,

98
00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:08.980
our engineers and manufacturing people

99
00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:11.100
create systems custom designed

100
00:07:11.100 --> 00:07:13.080
to meet your individual needs.

101
00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:15.880
That's why no two telephone exchanges

102
00:07:15.880 --> 00:07:18.120
we build for the Bell telephone companies

103
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:18.980
are alike.

104
00:07:20.380 --> 00:07:21.400
The telephone companies are alike.

105
00:07:21.400 --> 00:07:21.400


106
00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:28.080
Yet, all the different telephone exchanges,

107
00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:29.100
old and new,

108
00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:31.220
must work with all the others.

109
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.020
Like nerve endings

110
00:07:33.020 --> 00:07:35.160
in the complex human nervous system,

111
00:07:35.580 --> 00:07:37.500
each must interconnect in the harmony

112
00:07:37.500 --> 00:07:39.740
of the Bell Systems communications network,

113
00:07:39.880 --> 00:07:41.460
and it must perform.

114
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.240
The Bell System

115
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:31.240


116
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:31.240


117
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:31.240


118
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.960
The Bell System

119
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:34.680
The Bell System

120
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:34.680


121
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:34.680


122
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:34.680


123
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:35.600
The Bell System

124
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:35.600


125
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:35.600


126
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:36.000
The Bell System

127
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:36.300
The Bell System

128
00:08:36.300 --> 00:09:06.000
The Bell System

129
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.000


130
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.000


131
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.000


132
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.000


133
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.000


134
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.060
Bell Systems

135
00:09:46.780 --> 00:09:51.620
We design and build our equipment for a telephone network that must never fail.

136
00:09:52.040 --> 00:09:55.040
Sometimes it's literally a matter of life and death.

137
00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:13.660
Okay and 5-9 Victor what runway are you requesting sir?

138
00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:16.300
Whatever runway you want me to use.

139
00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:20.740
Continue stay in for runway 4 to wind is 3, 3-0 degrees, travel is 1-5.

140
00:10:21.180 --> 00:10:22.940
American 229 down to the left of the highway.

141
00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:25.580
Our biggest concern for performance comes new technology.

142
00:11:26.400 --> 00:11:31.800
Our research partners at Bell Laboratories work at designing new ways to fill your needs.

143
00:11:32.980 --> 00:11:38.780
Western Electric's rapid application of technological breakthroughs ensure high performance and

144
00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:41.180
the continued introduction of innovative services.

145
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:51.060
Today because of our leadership in solid state technology we make circuits of microscopic

146
00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:51.740
size.

147
00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:57.140
This equipment can store more information than the largest computers in the world and

148
00:11:57.140 --> 00:12:00.560
at performance levels unequal by any computer.

149
00:12:02.640 --> 00:12:05.160
Bell Labs is the pioneer in the field of lasers.

150
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.460
Western Electric has put this kind of light beam to work in cutting microcircuits and

151
00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:11.400
industrial diamonds.

152
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:20.920
Eventually light beam through fibers may carry more phone conversations than we can now handle

153
00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:22.260
with wires and cables.

154
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:38.320
And with continued research into the three dimensional mysteries of holography we someday

155
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.900
may be able to handle even more information.

156
00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:52.800
These telephone developments have inspired other innovations in fields outside our work.

157
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:19.980
Now your name.

158
00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:23.880
Type J. Type O. Good.

159
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:35.240
Type H. No, you typed X. We wanted H. Type H. Type N. Fantastic.

160
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:42.880
Type R. Groovy.

161
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.240
Communicating.

162
00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:13.760
That's up to you.

163
00:14:14.420 --> 00:14:17.440
Our job is to do everything we can to help you along.

164
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:24.280
This kind of diverse yet unified task demands that all the companies involved share the

165
00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:27.680
same objective, the best possible telephone service.

166
00:14:28.280 --> 00:14:34.620
All of the Bell System, AT&T, the Bell Phone Companies, Bell Labs, and Western Electric

167
00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:37.540
work together on this common concern.

168
00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:38.980
We have to.

169
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:41.760
Otherwise, we could never get it all together.

170
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:43.120
For all of us.

171
00:15:08.780 --> 00:15:11.580
Thank you.
