zero to nine. Each user will have to
 know the number of the telephone he
 is calling, and will operate the dial by
 rotating it with his finger to whatever
 combination of numbers he desires. The officials have gotten out a con- plete directory for use at each station. The numbers of all stations can be found either by department. or the name of the individual in charge. It will not be possible to entirely dispense with the services of an oper- ator, owing to calls to and from out side the factory.
 Under the automatic system the services of a stenographer are not needed ill dialing a number. The dial ing of a number by the person calling
 it's in motion an intricate number of wheels, electric lights and other "du- flickers," which nobody ever expects a lay man to understand, and the person called gets the ring. The two plants will be connected by cables, NhANAi NtAH'i@ Np'iheAillli5 -vp Ballo VI wires, which will be laid underground. There will be about 75 miles of single wire in the two factories, in addition 10 about 400 miles of wire in the ca bles.
 This will mean doing away entirely with the switchboard at the Stanley Rule and Level plant and the old number 195 will pass out of existence or be assigned 10 some other subscrib- CT. In the future after the "cut over" which will take place between the third or the fifth of July. per son wanting someone at the Whiting street plant, the Stanley Rule and Lev el plant on Elm street or the Stanley Works will ca the same number 1S0 and the operator there vii make the proper connection and ring the party. 1 Calls from within the factory will not be handled by an operator. unless { trouble arises.

475 MILES OF WIRE
 IN STANLEY SYSTEM
Main Plant and ''Rule Shop" Single Unit About July 1

Between 400 and 500 miles of tele- phone wire will be required to handle the telephone business of the Stanley Works and the Stanley Rule and Level offices, after tho first week in July. This will be necessitated by .he changing over of the present manual system in the Stanley Rule offices and the connecting cables between the two factories to the automatic system.
 On or about July l the Stanley Rule and Level company will be jcined with the Stanley Works in one of the most comprehensive and up to date telephone systems in 'he country. When the Stanley Works took over the Rule and Level plant, i. was evident fro mthe start that the two plants would have to work more or less as a unit. Separated by nearly a mile, as the two plants are, the telephone was to become an important link between them.
 Machine switching has been in operation at the Stanley Works for nearly two years and has proven most satisfactory. When the present man. ual board at the Rule and Level plant 1t was decided to replace it with ma reached its capacity over a year ago, chine switching. similar to the stan ley Works. When the telephone company offices were consulted. they suggested, instead of installing an- other machine switch unit at the Rule and Level plant. that the unit at the Stanley Works be enlarged and by use of cables between the two plants, op- crate as one system. Work on this was started immediately, but was de- layed on account of the inability to secure machine switching parts.
 The new system now is nearly com plete, and is expected to be in opera ton early next month.
 At the present time, an employe at one factory, wishing to call a certain department in the other must first call the operator at his own plant, who in turn calls tho operator at the distant plant and she in turn must ring the department desired. Under the new system. all that will be nec- eSary for the employe to do. is dial the number of the party he wishes at the other plant, and that department is rung just as readily and quickly as though the telephone were in the next room.
