GRAND PR PANAMA PACIFIC PANAMA PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL ERNATIONA EXPOSITION. i SAN FRANCISCO 1915 DEPARTMENT OF MACHINERY Dlg Western Electric QUALITY PRODUCTS Go MEDA OEFARTMENT OF LIBERAL ARTS ower 4 FOREWORD This catalog represents the most advanced ideas in catalog making, and is the most complete exposi- · tion of telephone apparatus and supplies ever published. .• Completeness This catalog lists only the types of equipment which are in common use. . With a line so varying, it is manifestly impossible to show all t;vpes and combinations, and while we stron~ly recommend the use of the standard eqmpment as shown, yet m case special equipment is necessary, your mquiries are solicited. Pri~es Western Electric prices are as low as possible consistent with high quality material and expert workmanship. Prices in this catalog have been omitted in certain instances, on account of the fluctuations in the market value of the various raw materials and the many possible alternativrs, such as in switchboard equipment. THE WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY In the electrical and telephone fi~ld there is probably no name so well known as that of the Western Electric Company. This in itself is cause for pride, but of more importance, both from the customer's standpoint and our own, is the reason for such an extended reputation. The Western Electric Company has been engaged in the .manufacture of telephone apparatus for more than thirty-eight years. Manufacturing At Hawthorne, Illinois, on the outskirts of Chicago, is located the principal factory of the Western Electric Company. This centralized purchasing. of the raw material, manufacturing and testing enables us to produce standard telephone equipment at moderate price. E~perience Our experience in the designing, manufacturing and testing of telephone apparatus enables us to offer a complete and attractive line of quality apparatus which has proved its merit. Therefore, our customers avoid experiments with untried apparatus, which may prove costly. Permanent Source of Supply Although the advances of the art has made it necessary for us to develop and market various types of apparatus and equipment, we are prepared to furnish equipment for additions or extensions to the original installations. If the code number is not known, it is advisable to send us samples in order to secure prompt and proper filling of the order. One of the important factors to be considered in the purchasing of telephone apparatus is the certainty of a permanent source of supply for repairs and additional parts. Engineering Services At every Western Electric distributing house there are telephone engineers who will cheerfully render any assistance desired by our customers. The benefit of our long experience as the leading telephone manufacturer is at the disposal of our customers and friends. Stocks and Shipments Each Western Electric distributing house carries a complete stock of telephone apparatus, construction material and tools from which immediate shipments can be made. These distributing houses, located at the ~trategic business centers, not only insure prompt shipments but a saving in the freight charges, as the prices are F. 0. B. the distrib?ting hous~s.

The positive plat.e of one cell and the negative plate of the adjacent cell are fused to one connecting strap and the pair are supported on the edfes of tl_le two adjacent glass jars. ._ By this method no connecting bolts . or burning are required to install any number of cells in a group, and there are· no. contacts to corrode or become loose. These cells have demonstrated their superiority for telephone, tele~ph, police and fire alarm ·signaling, labora.tory, experimental servtce, etc. The resistance between cells is practically eliminated-this feature being an item of importance in cells of small capacity.
