Frank Baldwin Jewett, 49, is president of Bell Telephone Laboratories' 2,000 scientists and their 2,000 assistants. It is the biggest organization of its kind in the world. They invented permalloy and thereby quadrupled the amount of messages possible to send over cables. They made long distance and overseas telephony possible. They have saved the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., and Western Electric Co., for whom they work, millions of dollars, and helped the companies earn more millions...
...operating profits for that year of $117,061. The acquisition of Federal Telegraph's Pacific Coast radio system seems to put the Mackay Companies in command of transpacific communications, and may put to naught Western Union's contemplated permalloy cable. Mackay Companies, through Commercial Pacific Cable Co., owns the only present transpacific cable. This cable operates between the U. S., Hawaii, the Philippines and China. Mackay Companies, further, covers the U. S. with Postal Telegraph, although to a less thorough extent than does Western Union. It has arrangements for transmission of telegrams with Canadian Pacific Telegraphs which...

The Colonia then plowed off eastward to splice a deep-sea section with the other shore end at Penzance. In August she will lay a final section from Bay Roberts to Manhattan...
...Union's new cable, 2,500 letters a minute, is to result from an improvement achieved in the cable itself after long experimenting to gain speed by improving sending and receiving instruments. Around the copper conductor of the 3,800-mile strand is wound a continuous strip of "permalloy" ribbon, an alloy of iron and nickel which conducts current very freely, permitting signals to be sent close together...
