  • Chapter 9 Beginnings of Electronic Switching
    Chapter 9 Beginnings of Electronic Switching The advantages of speed realizable from electronics were evident from an early date, and even before World War II Bell Labs experimented with gas tube control of crossbar switches. After the war, the impetus toward elec­ tronics was increased by the invention of the transistor at Bell Labs in 1947, and a number of experiments in both the research and development areas made use of the properties of transistors, gas diodes, magnetic drums, and cathode ray tubes. The results of these experiments were encouraging enough to spur the development of an electronic switching system for a field trial at Morris, Illinois; an important milestone was reached in 1955 with the incorporation into the Morris design of stored-program control. Even before the successful conclusion of the Morris trial in 1962, the Bell System recognized that full-scale development of electronic switching was the road to the future. One consequence was the No. 101 electronic switching sys­ tem, a time-division PBX which first saw commercial service in 1963. Development effort at Bell Laboratories culminated in the No. 1 ESS, first placed in commercial service in 1965, and the 4-wire version incorporated into the government's AUTOVON (AUTOmatic VOice Network) system, beginning in 1966. Since the mid-1960s, the history of ESS and stored­ program control has been one of rapid, continuous growth in versatility and range of services. I. EARLY APPLICATIONS OF ELECTRONICS The successful application of electronics to transmission led to many attempts to seek its potential for switching, as described in Chapter 5, section I.

  • Winter 2019, Vol
    www.telcomhistory.org (303) 296‐1221 Winter 2019, Vol. 24, no 4 Jody Georgeson, editor A Message from Our Director It’s been a very busy time here since our last newsletter. We had a very successful Open House and birthday party for the “Bell Palace” and the 140th anniversary of the telephone in Denver. I want to thank all our wonderful volunteers who helped make it happen. There’s still time for you to see the exhibit by contacting us at 303-296-1221 or [email protected] to make tour reservations. In 2020 we will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Telecommunications History Group. A party is needed! See our web site and the next issue of Connections News for more information about upcoming festivities. We did a display for the NECA, National Exchange Carrier Association in November for their annual meeting. It was fun and interesting to meet folks from so many independent Telephone companies. (You can see pictures from the open house and the NECA exhibit in this publication.) Winter is a time for catching up here and planning new activities and projects. If you are in Denver or Seattle, please come see us. Have a very Happy Holiday and Happy New Year! Sincerely, Renee Lang, Acting Director The Birth of the Almon Strowger Legend By Peter Amstein In 1889, Almon Brown Strowger was an undertaker with an establishment on Ninth Street near Wyandotte Street in Kansas City. There he enjoyed the benefit of telephone service from The Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company, which was then part of the Bell System.
