ATEC Building Modern Phone Exchange Here

Wm. M. Maxey, president of the A a K Telephone Engineering Corp, announced Wednesday that his company has purchased the Seward Light and Power Company this week and work has already begun to provide Seward with a modern telephone system. A new building will be constructed at Fourth Avenue and C Street.
 The corporation is known by the initials of it's name as AZTEC. To develop a standardized telephone system throughout Alaska is the purpose of ATEC. Besides Seward, the company has, or is working on. telephone systems in Wrangell, Nenana, Haines, Homer and Sel- dovia.
 Automatic System
 ACS, of course. carries the long distance toll calls in Alaska. but the calls from the local telephone exchanges may now be routed through ACS.
 In Seward, ATEC plans to in- stall a 1000 line automatic dial system which is manufactured by the Automatic Electric Company Of Chicago. This system is known as the Sroger Dial System which is sometimes referred to as the Step by Step" System.
  Standard Service
 This exchange is one of Bell Telephone Systems standard types and it is the plan of ATEC to in- stitute standard Bell practices in Alaska cities, even to the telephone books.
 Seventy-five per cent of the worlds automatic phone systems are the Stroger or Step by Step system. The first dial system in Alaska is Stroger at Kodiak. and the Alaska Railroad in Anchorage uses Stroger.
 Engineering Experience
 The seven men behind ATEC represent a total of 125 years of experience in telephone engineer ing Maxey leads with above 45 years of service in the United States, Canada, the British Isles Argentine, Chile, Uruguay, Peru Mexico, France, Belgium, Germany Italy, Roumania, and a number of other countries. He has worked for 38 years on automatic systems. He was a major in the Army.
 The corporation appreciates the problem of providing local ex- change service in Seward for future growth of the city. It was with thought of the future that the prop erty at Fourth Avenue and C Street was chosen. As the city grows it will have to expand in that direction, putting the tele- phone exchange in the center of town.
 Work Started
 Work on the thousand line sys- tenn has already begun, and Thurs day morning A. " Friedman, who will manage the Seward exchange and was formerly owner of the ex- change at Wrangell, started a house-to-house survey to deter mine the number of new tele- phones needed for immediate and future needs. The house-to-house count is always an essential step in telephone engineering.
 All new phones installed will be dial type, although the service will not become automatic until the new building is completed and in- stallations in.
 MT. Maxey said he appreciates fully the seriousness of the local problem, since it is quite similar to that of Fairbanks when he came there to set up relief condition providing a fair grade of service.
