Standard Time fren, tle = eIcntoue

The New England Telephone and Telegraph
Company have just connected Portland CEN
tral office with an ingenious instrument
known as the Dram Automatic Time Signal,
by which every telephone subscriber in and
about Portland can learn the exact standard
time at any minute during the day or night.
The subscriber has only to put the telephone
to his ear (without calling central office) to
hear the hour and minute struck off by ticks,
the numbers resembling those given by the
fire alarm. For instance, at just before any
minute-say, for example, 10.36-ten ticks
will come first, then q pause; three, then a
pause; six; in few seconds more when the
actual time has arrived buzz is heard. The
"buzz" enables time-pieces to be set exact to
the second. The instrument is working finely
in Boston and several other large cities. The
time is taken here from William Senter & Co.

or in Others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying com
