FRONT VIEW OF AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE
SWITCH.
Der of operators is increased during the
so-called busy hours and decreased
when the night comes OF and the vol
ume of business is supposed to be lax
Oftentimes this decrease of force is
greater than the decrease of business
will warrant, some special event or
catastrophe sending in a number of
hurry calls which the depleted force
cannot handle. This can never happen
with the automatic exchange which al
ways has as many operators or switches
as callers.
Tenth-In addition to the above the
following advantages afforded by the
automatic exchange may be noted; (D
Quick connections; (2) Instantaneous
disconnections; 81 Prompt answers Sc
cured from the called subscriber; az
The accuracy and promptnoss with
which the busy signal is always given
where the subscriber is actually busy.
FIRE ALARM.
If it is so desired, every automatic
telephone instrument installed can be
made a fire alarm. 1t is done in this
way Supposing No. is selected on
the instrument as the one with which to
ring up the fire department; when the
plant is being installed, No 8 on each
instrument will be so wired as to ring
up both fire departments, the chief of
the department, the water works sta
ton, and as many other places as may
be desired. Wishing to send in an
alarm all that is necessary is to insert
the finger in the hole marked and pull
it down to the stop, press the button,
and bell is rung in every place with
which it is connected You simply say
''iire," and the chief will obtain your
name, address, location of fire, and
then issue his orders to the fire COM
panies. This will be vast improve
ment over any fire alarm system of the
nature the city now has.

large crew of men, to keep the lines
from being crossed, and the strong in
duction from the numerous electric
wires has been something impossible
to avoid, besides the telephone instru-
ments throughout the city and the out
fit at the central Office becoming sadly
out of date. Hence, various telephone
systems were looked into and steps
taken to cable our home plant and
make it metallic. The Automatic Elec-
tric company, of Chicago, was induced
to place twenty of their telephones and

REMARKABLE SYSTEM.

The new system is a remarkable one
in many respects. One of the chief
features is that no central operators
are needed-each person IS his own
central and makes his own connec-
ton, or rather the machine does it
for him. By means of a dial he des-
ignates what number he wants and
then presses q button, and the con-
nection and call has been made. Such
system seems almost ideal-no ex-
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1905-03-21

iasperating wait for central to ask you
what number you want, and no delay
lin ringing up the party all of it is
done by the subscriber himself, in a
few seconds, and if the line is busy
you are given that information in
lstantly by a buzzer Furthermore,
when you have finished your conver-
sation and have hung up your receiv-
er, you are instantly disconnected, and
are ready to call another number with
out moments delay. You don't have
10 rattle your hook and wait till GEN.
.tral is ready to attend to you again.
You attend to it yourself, and prob
ably make two or three connections
during the time that under the old
system you could make only one.
SERVICE ALWAYS PROMPT.
Another feature which must add to
the popularity of the service, and con-
sequently to the number of subscrib-
ers in any given exchange, is the fact
that in times of special public excite
ment-elections, catastrophes, etc
and in the rush hours of the day, the
automatic will work as promptly and
as well as in the quietest hours of the
night. Nothing can Illustrate or choke
up the automatic; it never sleeps, and
it never gets busy. 1t is the same yes
far.lnu tnHou anA fora,.a,, a,J ,xvo,,Id
certainly appear to be one step further
toward the dawn of the promised day
OF universal peace
INsUREs ABSOLUTE SECRECY.
Again, the new system insures abso-
lutte secrecy. There are no party lines,
each phone having its own individual
wire, and there can be no leakage in
the central office, because there is no
one there who has anything to do with
making the connection. This advan-
tage cannot be overestimated by the
banker, the broker, the physician and
the general business man, to say moth
ing of the people who have the party
lines in their homes and who know only
too well what some of their disadvan-
tages are. The workings of this wonder
ful system will de described more in de-
tail in future issues of the PILoT.

CITY FERRY IN TROUBLE
RESERVE BOATS FAIR.
There is No Response to a Call for
Them When the Queens Breaks
Down.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4:-There was
another hitch in the operation of the
municipal ferryboats yesterday, when
the Queens for more than IN hour
was held up in midchannel on her
first afternoon trip to Staten Island
from South Ferry. The s%uperinten-
don't, Mr.. Pollock, sought by tele-
phone to press reserve boats of the
fleet into immediate service, but none
responded.
At last the police steamer. the Pa
troll, went on a rush to the Queens,
but the f%erryboat was under way
again before the police boat reached
her.
BY the delay of the Queens the
whole schedule became disarranged,
and many passengers at both termin-
OILS were held for two hours. 1t was
stated that the Storage gear of the
Queens went wrong.
Why the boats lying in supposed
readiness did not respond to Mr.. Pol
locks call may be the subject of in
vestigation by Maurice Featherson,
Commissioner of Docks and Ferries,
today.
