SMITH Ootometrists BRYAN OPTICAL CLINIC 105 N. Main Bryan, Texas (Next to Lewis Shoe Store) A Campus-to-Career Case History ijUfo r -i .r, ,v,, Dick Jf'alsh (right) discussing carrier equipment which ivill provide many additional long distance circuits out of Philadelphia. If There’s opportunity in a growing company »» As an Engineer in the Transmission Section of Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, Richard M. Walsh plans for the future. ‘‘Our group’s responsibility,” says Dick. ' ‘is to see that we have sufficient facilities to handle present and future needs. Telephone usage is growing every year, and we keep up with this growth by keeping ahead of it. ‘‘For instance, to meet the increasing demand for communication circuits in our area, we’re adding 70.000 new chan nel miles this year alone, at a cost of §3,500.000. Laying new cable will give Us 40.000 of those channel miles, and we 11 get the other 30.000 through use of carrier equipment, which lets us send a number of long distance calls on each pair of wires simultaneously. “Thus, though a cable might have only 300 pairs of wires, we can. with carrier, make it carry over 3000 telephone calls at one time. Using carrier equipment to get extra circuits out of cable —which is expensive to make and lay—is an example of how we engineer to give high-grade service at the lowest possible cost. “Before I graduated from college I had interviews with twenty-eight companies. Out of all these I chose the telephone company because it had the most to offer in the way of interesting work, training and opportunity. This certainly turned out to be true. In a growing business your opportunities grow, too.” Dick Walsh graduated in 1953 from the University of Delaware with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. There are many interesting career opportunities in other Bell Telephone Companies, and in Bell Telephone Labora tories, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation.
