The Murray Hill buildings of Bell Telephone Laboratories, designed to accommo-date about 900 people, under pressure of war work now house 1,200. They in-clude many novel structural features which adapt them to laboratory needs and makethem perhaps the most outstanding buildings in the country for scientific research tinues to make studies of behavior ofthese products throughout their sub-sequent life. In this work we as members ofBell Telephone Laboratories haveonly one objective: to make certainthat the equipment that we devise anddesign will be such as will achieve theend of the best possible telephoneservice at the least possible cost.This is a very different objective frommaking things to sell in a competitive neered to that end to a degree re-quired in few other fields. Conse-quently, systems engineering hasplayed a dominant part in every as-pect of Bell Laboratories work. Another feature that distinguishesthe methods of Bell Telephone Labo-ratories is its close association on on
