The basic principle of the old

phone business.

its long, perforated roll looked
like an diversified Government
check. Each perforation played
a note.
The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co.'S use of the basic
plan was launched here recently,
billed and advertised wider
range dialing." It means that
some calls. which heretofore re-
quired detailed information to a
long distance operator, may now
be dialed-for the same price.
Behind the scene in wider
range dialing" is an amazing
battery of devices called CANA
central automatic message ac-
counting). This is where the
player piano roll principle comes
in.
The caller dials a number for
Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick
or any of the points now includ-
ed in the wider range. The elec-
trio impulses he dials flash to
and make perforations on the
long. 3-inch-wide tape. An op-
orator comes in on the call only
