As calls come into the exchange lights are flashed on the observing board, of which note is made by the observer, and 1t is also noted how soon the operator replies to the call, this being indicated by the light going out. It is also recorded in what time the operator begins to call the number desired and how long it is that the party called takes in responding. The traffic chief thinks this will be a great help to the exchange, as it is possible thereby to determine just where the service may be inencient. The observing board being located m the terminal room. it is not known to the operators what the reports are or in fact whether the observers arc watching them or not. This work is also well along and it is expected that it will be completed in three or four days.
