"CUTTING OVER.
How Telephone Lines Are Moved
From Ono switchboard to Another.

How Telephone Lines Are Moved
From Ono Switchboard to Another.
Cutting over" is the technical
phrase applied to moving the wires in
a telephone central Office from one
switchboard to another. If you will
reflect that many of the switchboards
of the type used in the Bell exchanges
of large cities carry $500 lines, you
will see what a task transferring such
a mass of wires is. Indeed, there are
few mechanical operations which more
impress one with a sense of absolutely
perfect forethought and organization.
When an exchange is to be ''cut
over" all the outside lines coming into
it, both overhead and underground, are
tapped and practically connected with
the new board while the old one is still
in use. That is to say, they are brought
into the main distributing frame,
which is the big rack through which
the outside lines are separated and
linked to the proper inside lines which
run directly into the switchboard and
terminate in the Jacks" by means of
which the operator is enabled to put
any two subscribers into communica-
ton.
The opportunities for confusion and
mishaps in this work are evident, and
it speaks much for the painstaking care
with which it is done that a subscriber
is practically never 'lost," as the tele-
phone engineer calls it, if one Of the
lines is temporarily disconnected. To
secure such perfection innumerable
tests are necessary not only of the out
side lines, but of every switchboard
line, and these are conducted over a
long period SO as i'll no way to disturb
the service of the subscriber.
The operators are thoroughly drilled
in the use of the new board, and when
it comes to the actual performance of
cutting over" which generally takes
place some hour in the night when
business is always light, both boards
have a full force to work them. The
final step is to cut the old connections
and complete the new ones at the same
instant. This is usually done by pull
ing out from the board to be abandon
ed the heat coils which are put into
every circuit in the distributing frame
as protection to the apparatus against
an overload of electricity from light
ming or from the crossing of wires, or
what not, and simultaneously pushing
coils into the mechanism that replaces
it. So rapidly can skilled men perform
the operation that one of them can put
600 or 700 coils in a place in thirty
seconds, and the whole process of 'cut-
ting over in large office occupies not
more than two minutes. There is no in
terruption of service, however, for one
group of wires is dealt with at time,
so that no circuit is out of commission
