CLOSE TO PERFECTION

The average Bell telephone used
today is in working order more than
99.98 per cent of the time. AS it
stands that is an amazing fact, but
it becomes even more extraordinary
when it is known that this 99.98 per
cent reliability is possible in spite of
the completely of the telephone
instrument itself, the intricate switch
ing, signaling and circuit mechanisms
in the telephone central Offices and on
telephone lines, and the interruptions
in service caused by sleet, wind, floods
and lightning.

That, from the viewpoint Of arithmeti-
