e. NJ. Surprise. agent for the New
England Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany. is here making plans for the in
stallation of a new telephone system in
the local exchange. 1t is known as the
common battery system and is designed
to make telephoning more convenient
both for the patron and for the operators
at central. By means of It a person wish
ing to use the phone has only to take
down the receiver and a small electric
lamp is lighted at the exchange. The
operator calls for the number and makes
the connection and pays no further atten-
ton to 1t, for the lamps remain lighted
as long as the parties are I'm communica-
ton or until they replace their receivers.
Mr.. Surprise expects also to introduce
an arrangement by which patrons on
lines where there are several instruments
will hear only their own call and will
not be annoyed by every ring on the line.
