: For years, in the brooding manor house overlooking a little Scotch village, John Napier worked in mysterious seclusion.

Night and day I keep singing—humming and thrumming:
It is love and war and money; it is the fighting and the tears, the work and want,
Death and laughter of men and women passing through me, carrier of your speech,
In the rain and the wet dripping, in the dawn and the shine drying,
A copper wire.
—Carl Sandburg
Under a Telephone Pole Screwdriver and splicing knife hanging from his belt, the telephone man keeps history's happiest invention humming from coast to coast. He watches over 265 million miles of wire, waging war against storm, disaster and pesky animals that chew up or nest in his equipment.

To every home and office, he gains ready entrance, exuding courtesy and helpfulness.
