Abstract
In 1925 Western Electric Research Laboratories and part of the engineering department of the American Telephone & Telegraph company (AT&T) were consolidated to form Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. The ownership of Bell Laboratories was evenly split between AT&T and the Western Electric Company, and its principal work was to design and support the equipment that Western Electric built for Bell System operating companies, including telephone exchange switches. A few workers were assigned to basic research, and this attracted much attention, especially since they produced several Nobel Prize winners.
