The Always-on-Duty Bell Telephone At three or four o'clock in the morning all is asleep and dark — all except the telephone office. Over at the Bell Central Office one may see the windows alight, aa if they were the watchful eyes of the sleeping city. The operators who have watched through the night and. perhaps answered a hurry call for the doctor or an alarm of fire, know when the city awakens from its night's rest. Before five o'clock lhe_ signal lights in the switchboard begin to glow more and more rapidly — the new day has begun. » All the buftness and social activities of toe day are reflected on the Bell Telephone switchboard. The buiiness message* rise in volume aa the trade and commerce of the day- reach their height and drop down again at lunch time and later whe.. the day is done. TTie residence calls bring up the total early in the morning with the marketing and shopping and again at meal lime*. Hie Bell Telephone engineers study this traffic and ascertain the amount of equipment necessary and the number of operators required to handle ihe calls. Both of theae must be, and are sufficient to take care of any emergency. The P>4tl>c never know* when, due to some unusual cause, there is a ruih hour at the telephone office. Every precaution is exercised to the end that the operator's courteous "number please'* will promptly answer your call— always. C.B. SMITH, District Mgr. "•
