Safe Expert Opens
Door By Telephone
Though so Miles Away Man
Directs Movement of
Tumblers Over
Wire

There may be nothing new under
the sun, but young woman employed
in an office in a western state Ger
tainly used the telephone to a good
advantage when she lost the combina-
ton to the Office safe. Remembering
that there was a safe expert in
town about so miles away she placed
telephone call asking him to come
to her assistance.
The expert, remembering the slogan
Don't travel-talk" instructed the girl
to place the telephone transmitter
next to the safe door and turn the
dial. He then directed her by the
sound of the tumblers how to operate
the dial. By following his instruc-
tons the young woman was able to
open the safe door. The entire time
consumed in the transaction, includ-
ing the placing of the long distance
call, was less than five minutes.

other means was impossible.
Some camp owners in this neigh
borhood cleaned up their equipment
last week and hauled their sap pals

more patient.

The United States is not only the
most outstanding country in the world,
but it has the most efficient and the
best developed telephone system. Last
year 1900 miles of telephone cable
were added to the long distance plant,
which was by far the largest amount
ever placed in a single year. There
are now more than 100000 miles
of telephone wire in this country of
which less than per cent is open
wire.

TELEPHONE BRIEFS

That people are finding new uses for
the telephone is very evident. Dur
ing 1928 there was a daily average
of 100000 telephone calls in the
United States, which was an increase
of 100000 over the average day for
1927. Of course. the number of tele-
phones increased greatly. but the use
of the telephone increased even more
rapidly.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-02-28

Advances in the art of communi.
cation carried on during 1928 by the
Bell Telephone Laboratories, the re-
search and development branch OF the
Bell Telephone System, resulted in the
development of a deep-sea. long dis
lance cable by the use of which the
spoken word may be transmitted
across the Atlantic. The Laboratories
also developed a new set of magnetic
alloys called "perminvar," which are
found to be very valuable for use In
the continuous loading OF telephone
circuits and which bring about i'm.
proved transmission.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-02-28

During 1928 contract was made
between the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the Western
Union Telegraph Company and the
Postal Telegraph Company whereby
the many developments of the Bell
Telephone System research experts
were made available to the telegraph
companies. The majority of these de-
velopments have to do with increasing
the message sending capacity of a
given group OF circuits and in elimi.
mating duplicate pole lines by the joint
use of facilities.
