VISITS THE
TELEPHONE
CENTRAL
OFFICE
THE thing that surpris¬ ed Alice most upon entering the telephone central office was the re- markahle quiet oi the place. It seemed almost as quiet as her own schoolhouse on Saturdays. Instead of a hedlam o( jingling bells and excited voices, she heard only the suhaued hum of the operators voices answering calls. It re¬ minded her of a husy Dee- hive, except that there were no drones.
Alice listened attentively while the young lady who had charge of the room, the Chief Operator, tried to explain.
"When a subscriber de¬ sires to make a call, she be¬ gan, "he signals the Central Office, the operator picks up one of the plug-tipped cords that you see at the base of the upright section of the switchboard, inserts it in a little hole, or 'jack', that marks the end ot that par¬ ticular subscriber 9 line, and answers with 'Number, please?
"Thc subscriber gives the number he wishes to call.
Next weel^ A lice finds out
NEW YORK
the operator repeats it, so that she may be corrected if she has misunderstood, and then she takes the plug at the other end of the same cord, inserts it in the jack of the called party, rings their bell, and the connec¬ tion 13 complete. "That is the way we handle hundreds of telephone calls day and night. "Our service never stops. for we never know when tt will be needed most. A 6re might start in the dead ot night: someone might be hurt or be taken sick; a bur¬ glar might be discovered. "Whatever the emergency, our subscribers depend upon the telephone to get the help needed. "We make the telephone connections just as fast as we can because we realize that a great deal depends on us, and we do our best to serve accordingly. "If you could hear some ol the nice things that our subscribers say about us you would know that the service we give meets every need and is appreciated,
