The Bell System was the system of companies, led by the Bell Telephone Company and subsequently by AT&T, which provided telephone services to much of the United States and Canada from 1877 to 1984, at various times as a monopoly. On December 31, 1984, the system was broken up into independent companies by a U.S. Justice Department mandate.
The colloquial term Ma Bell (as in "Mother Bell") was often used by the general public in the United States to refer to any aspect of this conglomerate, as it held a near complete monopoly over all telephone service in most areas of the country, and is still used by many to refer to any telephone company. Ma Bell is also used to refer to the various female voices behind recordings for the Bell System: Mary Moore, Jane Barbe, and Pat Fleet (the current voice of AT&T).
History
In 1877, the American Bell Telephone Company, named after Alexander Graham Bell, opened the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. Within a few years local exchange companies were established in every major city in the United States. Use of the Bell System name initially referred to those early telephone franchises and eventually comprised all telephone companies owned by American Telephone & Telegraph, referred to internally as Bell Operating Companies, or "BOCs".

The Bell System, which in 1976 employed nearly one million people at 27,000 locations worldwide, always benefited from explaining its scope to the public. This explanation is from a blue-collar POV, from a 'telephone man'. He divides the Bell businesses into 5 segments, and explains what each of them do. It's faux-folksy, but it does the job.
Here are the company segments:
1. AT&T
2. Large local telephone companies (23 of them, like Mountain Bell, Pacific Bell, 3. Ohio Bell, etc)
4. Long Lines
5. Bell Laboratories

For more from the AT&T Archives, see http://techchannel.att.com/showpage.cfm?ATT-Archives
The Bell System, which in 1976 employed nearly one million people at 27,000 locations worldwide, always benefited from explaining its scope to the public. This explanation is from a blue-collar POV, from a 'telephone man'. He divides the Bell businesses into 5 segments, and explains what each of them do. It's faux-folksy, but it does the job.
Here are the company segments:
1. AT&T
2. Large local telephone companies (23 of them, like Mountain Bell, Pacific Bell, 3. Ohio Bell, etc)
4. Long Lines
5. Bell Laboratories
6. Western Electric
Most people at the time knew of the Bell system as who rented you your phone, serviced the lines and provided basic and long distance telephone service. But the company extended far beyond that into military support operations, a number of much smaller subcompanies, and international telephony infrastructure projects.

The nurse call system is widely used in hospitals; clinics; older homes; Elderly Home and so on. It consists of a button for patient use and a signal receiver for nurse or doctor use.

The Bell System, which in 1976 employed nearly one million people at 27,000 locations worldwide, always benefited from explaining its scope to the public. This explanation is from a blue-collar POV, from a 'telephone man'. He divides the Bell businesses into 5 segments, and explains what each of them do. It's faux-folksy, but it does the job.
Here are the company segments:
1. AT&T
2. Large local telephone companies (23 of them, like Mountain Bell, Pacific Bell, 3. Ohio Bell, etc)
4. Long Lines
5. Bell Laboratories
6. Western Electric
Most people at the time knew of the Bell system as who rented you your phone, serviced the lines and provided basic and long distance telephone service. But the company extended far beyond that into military support operations, a number of much smaller subcompanies, and international telephony infrastructure projects.

When was the last time you saw one of these? They used to be everywhere, but now they're nowhere. Over the past 50 years, Bell System vans have nearly gone extinct. Here's the story of how I found and resurrected one of the last ones in the world, a 1974 Ford Econoline E-200 Display Van originally used by Pacific Northwest Bell.

The nurse call system is widely used in hospitals; clinics; older homes; Elderly Home and so on. It consists of a button for patient use and a signal receiver for nurse or doctor use. When the Patient needs any help, he or she just presses the button, the bed number will be shown on the RECEIVER of a watch or a display screen with “dingdong” sound vibration. And Room Light will be red in color. So the Nurse and doctor could offer help very timely.
The Bell System. One Policy, One System, Universal Service.

The Bell System was the system of companies, led by the Bell Telephone Company and subsequently by AT&T, which provided telephone services to much of the United States and Canada from 1877 to 1984, at various times as a monopoly. On December 31, 1984, the system was broken up into independent companies by a U.S. Justice Department mandate.
The colloquial term Ma Bell (as in "Mother Bell") was often used by the general public in the United States to refer to any aspect of this conglomerate, as it held a near complete monopoly over all telephone service in most areas of the country, and is still used by many to refer to any telephone company. Ma Bell is also used to refer to the various female voices behind recordings for the Bell System: Mary Moore, Jane Barbe, and Pat Fleet (the current voice of AT&T).
History
In 1877, the American Bell Telephone Company, named after Alexander Graham Bell, opened the first telephone exchange in New Haven, Connecticut. Within a few years local exchange companies were established in every major city in the United States. Use of the Bell System name initially referred to those early telephone franchises and eventually comprised all telephone companies owned by American Telephone & Telegraph, referred to internally as Bell Operating Companies, or "BOCs".
