FORD SERVICE

/ One of the most striking illustra.
tions of changed motoring condition
since a few years back, when the ear
owner feared to go on any lengthy
tour, is found in the Ford organiza.
ton which is today providing service
facilities for approximately half the
motor vehicles in the United States.
/ 1t is estimated that there are 9,00O.-
900 Ford cars and trucks traversing
the streets and highways Of the ma
ton and Ford service stations are
scattered in most every city, village
and hamlet to keep these cars run
ming with minimum Of delay and
at low cost.
The Ford Motor Company was
among the earliest automobile COM
panies to recognize that popularizing
motor car travel depended upon SER
vice facilities and that the motorist
parts must not be compelled to wait
a day or two, but be cared for in the
shortest possible time.
Establishment of Ford service sta
tons therefore started years back
but under the remarkable demand
for Ford cars, particularly during
the last few years with sales running
close to 100000 annually, it has
been necessary to extend this organi-
cation and to do it quickly. How
well this has been accomplished is
seen in company records which show
that since 1923. when Ford dealers
totaled little more than 5000, the
number has been increased to $500.
But in addition to this. the authoriz-
ed Ford Service Stations have been
more than leo per cent in
the last two wears until at the pres
ent time there are $4,000 such sta
tons throughout the country This
makes total of close to $4,000
places where Ford owners may Sc
cure necessary adjustments and SER
vice parts for their cars.

Chat Ennineer Manson 1estifieS


George K, Manson, chief engineer
of the telephone company, was re-
called to testify as to the estimated
advantages to his company from the
use of some of the improvements de-
veloped by the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company in return FOR
the 4kc5 license payment for various
special services.
Mr. Manson submitted two exhibits,
one showing the capital savings and
annual savings to the New England
company due to the use of fine-wire
cable, the lead-aptimony cable
sheath, open-wire phantom circuits,
duplex cable. loading coils, vacuum
tube repeaters, etc. The exhibit for
the company as whole showed That
it's capital savings from the use or
these improvements developed by the
engineering department of the Amer
lean company furnished without roy
atty or other charges except the Az Go
of the gross revnue paid under the
license contract. amounted to $751;
2SS,OO and it's annual savings to $5,-
065,6O0. For the state of Maine. the
capital savings were estimated at
s1,61S,s00 and the annual savings at
$234,950.
Mr.. Manson also described the
carrier current system" in operation
on toll circuit between Boston and
Bangor permits four conversations to
be held simultaneously over a single
physical circuit, and still another
conversation by using that physical
circuit as one side of a phantom Cir
cult.
The introduction of this carrier
system between Boston and Bangor
enabled the postponement of an esti-
mated heavy expense for a new toll

To Complete Case
Today on Rates at
P. u. Comm. Hearing

The presentation Of the New Eng
lands side of the telephone rate Will
probably be completed today. The
general commercial manager OF the
company, L. N. Whitney, concluded
Wednesday morning his testimony
with respect to the proposed new
rate schedules, and G. K. Manson,
chief engineer, succeeded him on the
stand to give testimony regarding
depreciation charges, and also re-
garding the benefits derived from the
license contract relationship between
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. and the New England company.
At the conclusion Of the company's
presentation of its case, 1t Is expect
ed an adjournment will be taken I'M
til some rate, the latter part of oct
ober. at which time there will be al
forded to remonstrants opportunity

bers of tn epublic utilities commits
sion will have had time to study the
exhibits and the stenographic record
of the evidence, and there will be
such further examination as then
NAV seem to be necessary or deslr-
able.
Mr.. Whitney concluded his direct
testimony by an exhibit showing the
ner cent increase in revenue for the
state as a whole and for various
groups of service under the proposed
new rates.
For the state as a whole the aver
age revenue increase was given as
1880. Private branch exchange
revenues would be increased by

relief to pressuer of toll business be-
tween Boston and Portsmouth, Bos-
to-Portland, Portland-Augusta, and
so on.
In addition to the engineering and
other services rendered under this
$3.50 license contract. the American
company supplies the New England,
without additional charge, with all
transmitters, receivers and induction
coils used by it's subscribers and
operating forces. The estimated cost
of this instrument service alone, on
the basis of ownership by the New
England Telephone & Telegraph Co.
would be 97.3 cents per year. accord
ing to an exhibit submitted by Mr..
Manson. This represents about one
half the license payment per tele-
phone, according the the testimony Of
a former witness.
