Abstract
PHOTOGRAPHY is a necessary part of research and development work, and there has been a Photographic Department at the Bell Laboratories, 463 West Street, New York, ever since the building was erected for the Western Electric Company at the close of the last century. Beginning with a single photographer and camera, it grew with the organization it served until in 1941 it required the full time of nine men, and included developing and printing quarters and a studio with cameras and other facilities that permitted it to turn out some 4,500 negatives and 63,000 prints each year.
