Excerpt from Telephony: A Manual of the Design, Constructions, and Operation of Telephone Exchanges, in Six Parts, Part II. Construction of Underground Conduits, With 62 Illustrations The art of Conduit building may be considered to owe its inception and development to the Telephone Exchange, for electric light and power circuits would have encumbered city streets much longer had it not been for the phenomenal increase in overhead wires necessitated by the telephone. When telephonists solved the problem of the underground circuit and buried their lines, other circuits of all descriptions were compelled to follow; and to Telephone Engineers, as conduit builders, the improved appearance of city streets owe a huge debt of gratitude. As with other inventions, the successful conduit has been a struggle for the survival of the fittest. During the past two decades plan after plan for underground circuits has appeared, lived for a time, and died; but gradually, from the ruins of failure, a system of Conduit building has arisen which has successfully withstood the severe test of more than a decade beneath the streets.
