Rural telephone users will be inter
ested in a new invention known as the
selective lockout system. The idea
has been perfected, and the new
phone and accompanying appliances
for its proper working patented, and
are being manufactured by a Chicago
company.
hear what his neighbor may be say
ing to a friend. This system of aural
'rubbering'' when someone else's bell
rings is a common occurrence and
many do not have phones for the
simple reason that some objection
able person on the line holds his re-
ceiver most of the time. 1t is even
stated that women in the country sit
down TO their knitting every forenoon
with the receiver tied onto the back
of their chairs so they won't miss any
thing.
The new system is so arranged that
the desired number may be selected
and the rest of the phones on the
line cut of. Central governs the en-
tire line no matter whether there are
q dozen or a hundred phones on the
line. An instrument is used by central
called a selectOr. One hundred and
twenty-five phones can be accommo
dated by a switch board ten inches
long and two inches wide. When the
user of the phone calls number
from central, she puts a plug in the
hole numbered on the selector and
rings. No matter how many phones
are on the line, all except number
are thrown off the circuit and only the
one bell rings. AT the same time a
red card is thrown into view in a lit
tie target on every phone on the line.
which indicates that the line is busy.
As soon as the user rings off, the red
sign disappears and the line is again
ready for business.
With the present system one per-
son can use the line by the hour and
keep every other person from using
1t. With the new system central con-
trolls things, and after two persons
have talked long enough they can be
switched OF and someone else given
a chance. Another advantage is that
CEly the desired bell will ring. With
the system now in use every bell on
the line rings every time anyone uses
a phone.
