Aiding Miss Central"

After you remove the telephone re-
ceiver from the hook and ask central for
a number, you will notice that she re-
peats the number in questioning voice,
indicating that she expects an answer
from you.
Her repetition Of the number IN such a
tone calls for an acknowledgment from
you that she has correctly heard the
number. With the subscriber cheerfully
assuming his or her part Of this effort for
accuracy, an increase in the efficiency Of
the service is sure to result.
1t is to avoid the possibility Of error
and the calling OF the wrong number that
central repeats the number given to her
as she hears IL
The subscriber Is expected to simply
say Eyes" when the operator questioning
ly reneats the number. That is. If she
has the correct number. II not. the caller
is expected to repeat the number desired.
In this way the percentage of wrong
number calls will be reduced to a mini
mum.
1t is reasonable to expect that when
subscribers know the purpose OF this rule
! they will accord the operator the helr
she should be given to avoid needless
wrong calls.
So when central correctly repeats the
number you ask for, just say yes OF
please" or something. Even a grunt OF
assent will do tie trick. If she is wrong
put her right. BY adherence to this rul,
the service will be made surer aAC
| sWifter.
