It is said that bell’s telephone (the Bell Telephone Company) was the first of the telephone-like communications systems to be developed. The Bell Telephone Company was a privately-held company which operated throughout the United States. After the company’s founding, it began to build more and more telephone exchanges. One of these was to be located in Des Moines, Iowa. The Bell Telephone Company’s president, James Bell, was in charge of building the new telephone exchange.

In 1884, the Bell Telephone Companys engineers had built a long telephone line that connected Iowa’s two main telegraph centers. Bells and the railroad had decided to run a single line that connected the two main telegraph offices, but each office had a separate transmitter and receiver.

The telegraph system was not without its faults. One of the main problems was caused by a very small amount of carbon in the steel wires used to transmit the “beep” and “hiss”. This caused the transmitters to “ring” loudly when the system was switched on. Another problem with the system was that when trains were running, the telegraph system often switched to a different frequency when they were not going by.
