inlbedded in solid concrete sunk eight
or ten fest in the ground. The pole
cannot give the sixteenth of an inch
and consequently there is no sagging
of wires or cables. So far as is known
no other system in the world has gone
to the trouble and expense of equipp-
ing an entire plant in this manner.
When tina strand was purchased
it was all bought one-eighth of an
inch in diameter larger than the engi-
nears had figured was sufficient to
stand the strain. Thus additional
strength and durability was secured at
an added expenditure of considerable
money. The drop cords are all
wound around a steel wire which is
stretched taut and fastened to the
house. The usual method is to use
the drop cord alone. The soft copper
in it soon stretches and the cord is
sagging. This cannot happen when
the steel wire is used. The insula-
ton for outdoor work is all
tested to one hundred megohms.
This means, perfect insulation. The
us1al method is to purchase INFESTED
material because it is cheaper and
answers the purpose fairly well. Mr..
hudson however is satisfied only with
the best.
The cable used in the plant is what
is known as S-point, whereas 12-point
is considered standard. Thus we see
the superior quality of this important
part of the Columbia system.
The switchboard is of the very best
central energy, common battery type
the Western Electric Company could
build. The Western Electric Com
pany is the foremost maker of tele-
phone supplies in the world and their
very best means as good as anyone
in the world has. In addition to this
Mr.. Hudson has added to the board
several devices he had worked out
himself. For instance the electrical
buzz test, the buzz that you hear when
you call number and the line Isl busy.
This is the first board ever built with
this "busy signaP for general use. 1t
is the most modern improvement and
very useful for it saves central the

know she is not lying for you can
hear the actual test for yourself.
A special set of keys for party lines
was added to the toll board because
Mr.. Hudson insisted on It'll Several

PLANTATION in this article win be found
on the Columbia board, that no other
system or only the ones in cities like
st. Louis or Kansas City have.
The system has in round numbers
sixteen hundred subscribers. It has
$500 miles of copper wire strung on
its poles to say nothing of the cables
and the underground system which
covers the entire business portion of
the city.
Sixteen operators are required to
answer the calls that come to the sys-
tenn. There is room at the board for
ten operators. There is also a chief
operator who makes out the time
schedules for the girls, instruets the
new ones, answers kicking subscrib-
ers and sees that the girls are at, all.
times courteouss to everyone
The girls are provided with large
and well ventilated rest room where
they may sit and talkor read and rest
when not working. The room is abso-
lutely private for the girls and they
have no fear of interruption.
The desk of the wire chief is fitted
with all the latest appliances for meas
uring electrical resistance and deter
mining where trouble on a line is. The
instruments are so delicate that he
can in most cases tell to a span where
trouble is. If 1t, is ten miles. from
Columbia he can tell between Just
what two poles the trouble lies.
Besides its town subscribers the
company has toll lines to about fifteen
Of the small towns around Columbia.
1t has seven long distance copper cir
cults in and out of the city. Three
OF these go west and four go east.
The plant is now as perfect as
money and human ingenuity can make
it. 1t is the model plant of the world
and it is safe to say that it, will remain
such so long as it is owned by Col. ].

The Columbia Telephone System is
the best in the world. This is not
only the opinion of iCblumbians, who
have a right to be proud of the plant,
but the opinion of more than one
hundred telephone experts who have
made special trips to Columbia since
the plant was rebuilt last summer for
the. sole purpose of inspecting the
work. The unanimous verdict OF all
the visitors is that no better plant
exists anywhere and in certain par
ticulars The Columbia Telephone Sys-
TEN leads the world. Indeed the meth
cd of outdoor construction is SO per-
feet and so original that 1t is referred
to among telephone men as the "Hud-
son System" (so-called because ]. A.
Hudson, the owner of the Columbia
plant, worked out the improvements
himself) and whenever a telephone
man desires to put in plant a little
better than the ordinary he comes to
Columbia and takes notes from "the
hudson system
Some plants may have one or two
of the improvements that make the
Columbia plant model but so far as
telephone men have been able to dis
cover Mr.. Hudson is the only owner
of a telephone system who has gone
to the trouble and expense of putting
them all in one plant.
To begin with the customary method
of buying telephone poles is to specify
the diameter at the top and say moth
ing about the butt. Also a six inch
top is the one usually purchased. The
poles of the Columbia Telephone Sys-
tenn are all seven and eight inch tops
and the butt specifications were SO
exacting that only three firms would
bid on the order. The poles are the
best that could be secured.
Wherever anchors OF guys were nee
easary Mr. Hudson had solid iron rods
made instead of the usual strand of
twisted telephone wires. These rods
are fastened to a large iron band
clamped around the top of the pole
and for an anchor in the ground they
are bolted to an iron wheel four or
five feet in diameter. This weel is

There Is no more reason to say that

his glass, proceeded to go oven its sur

the holes were bored from this side. I'll
