If her eyes hadn't been kind I would have thought she was laughing at me. The three weeks of training passed quickly and Carty had won his fight, a favorable augury for the camp of Flynn. Jerry worked hard, too hard it almost seemed for flesh and blood to endure, but he seemed tireless.
Theodore Vail, the presiding genius of the greatest telephone system in the world, is Irish, and so is Carty, its chief engineer. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was the grandson of an Irishman; Henry O'Reilly built the first telegraph line in the United States; and John W. Mackey was the president of the Commercial Cable Company.
A New "Hello Boy" in Boston Why the Boy Sought the Job The Useful Things the Boy Found to Do Young Carty and the Multiple Switchboard Called to New York City He Quiets the Roaring Wires Carty Made Engineer-in-Chief Extending the Range of the Human Voice New York Talks to San Francisco Over a Wire.
At thirty years of age he became a central figure in the development of the art of telephony. What Carty has done is known by telephone men in all countries; but the story of Carty himself who he is, and why is new. First of all, he is Irish, pure Irish. His father had left Ireland as a boy in 1825.
Determined that the existing telephone system should be extended and supplemented in every useful way, they attacked the problem with vigor. It was a problem that had long baffled the keenest of European scientists, including Marconi himself, but that did not deter Carty and his associates.
The Search for the Wireless Telephone Early Successes Carty and His Assistants Seek the Wireless Telephone The Task Before Them De Forest's Amplifier Experimental Success Achieved The Test Honolulu and Paris Hear Arlington The Future. No sooner had Marconi placed the wireless telegraph at the service of the world than men of science of all nations began the search for the wireless telephone.
He set about building up the engineering organization which was to accomplish the work, selecting the most brilliant graduates of American technical schools. He set this organization to work upon the extension and development of the long-distance telephone lines. As a "hello boy" Carty had believed in the possibility of the long-distance telephone when others had scoffed.
It was caused, Carty pointed out, by the circumstance that the telephone, like the telegraph, used a ground circuit for the return wire; the resultant scrapings and moanings and howlings were merely the multitudinous voices of mother earth herself. Mr. Carty began installing the metallic circuit in his lines that is, he used wire, instead of the ground, to complete the circuit.
Sagorski the big chap with the fuzzy hair, he's not half bad when you know him; and Carty, the one with the cauliflower ear, his fight comes off inside of a week. We're helping him out, too, you see good food, clean air bully fellow a little too finely drawn just now and a bit irritable " "I see. A bit irritable so am I "
And no matter how wise a telephone expert may be, he can never reach perfection, because of the amazing variety of things that touch or concern his profession. "No one man knows all the details now," said Theodore Vail. "Several days ago I was walking through a telephone exchange and I saw something new. I asked Mr. Carty to explain it. He is our chief engineer; but he did not understand it.
