Building up tl\e weway for your voice j Telephone lines, when they I are not in use, are like roads which run on and on,

yet never get anywhere. But, when the telephone receiver is lifted, the first step is taken towards building up a definite wireway that your voice may reach its destination. In answer t£ your signal the operator connects the brass-tipped cord to the switchboard jack or socket where your line terminates. You give the number wanted, and then she takes a second cord which is paired with the first and connects it with the socket where terminates the line you are calling, simultaneously presJog a key which rings the called subscriber's HelL There are many complications, for between central office and out-of-town calls; several switchboards and several operators may be involved. Nothing could be more intricate than the mechanism which insures this simplicity of marvelously complicated yet thoroughly systematized apparatus and methods; the perfection of standard equipment and of well trained operators. This is what makes Bell Service the most efficient telephone service in the world. When you telephone, smile ! The Delaware & Atlantic Tel. & Tel. Co., C. B.
