dnfng each conversation the circuit

OF Che user Long distance communi.
cations require the presence Of the two
individuals concerned at the ends of
the line and they are therefore. con-
fined largely to the hours when it is
certain that each can be definitely To-
Gated. The result of this is that the
long distance business is crowded into
a very small part OF the day. and that
much of the time the facilities provid-
led are lying idle. There is no way of
crowding the business during the
times Of heavy demand as but one
message can pass at a time. Diagrams
are given showing how irregularly the
business is distributed throughout the
day. and the statement is made that
.lf business could be subjected to a
half hour'g delay the facilities re-
.quired could be reduced one-third at
least
Attention is called to the univer-
salty of the Bell system and its occu-
patton of the field, first IN the urban
