Although many of the compon- ents can be mass-produced, an ex- change must be made to measure for the community it is to serve. Engineers must first spend many months calculating the needs of the community and. designing the layout. Then many more months are' required for the manufacture and installation of this equipment, Among the items needed to' set up a dial exchange are power equipment, ringing machines, mot- or generator sets, power control hoard, testing facilities, an alarm system, a cable vault, and, above All, the sensitive dial switching equipment, The last is a series of switches which operate when a telephone caller lifts the receiver and twists the Elio. ne switches are called line finders, selectors and connect- ors, The line finder comes into ac- tion the instant the receiver is lifted, Lifting of the receiver closes a switch and energizes the circuit. The line 'finder is then caused to seek.. ,out. a 'live" or unused line leading up to the dial switching i equipment n the exchange. When the connection is made, the dial tone sounds in the receiver, in- dicating' that the equipment is ready for the caller to begin dialing. The dial switches are activated by the return motions 'of the dial, As the dial swings back to the normal ppsition, it sends electrical impulses to the dial equipment, Depending on the letter or digit dialed, these impulses cause the selectors the firSt switches in the series to rise a corresponding number _of _ l&'els, where they ro- tate until they find an idle line into the next piece of equipment, The connector, which is the last switch in the ,series, acts in a slightly more complicated manner. Assume that the last two .digits of the desired number are "89". When the "8" is dialed, the shaft in the connector rises eight levels but it does not rotate automatic- ally to look for a vacant line, as do the shafts , in the previous switches. Instead, it' waits at the eighth until the last figure, "9", is dialed. The shaft then rotates nine steps to the exact line of the called party, and makes the final connection, If the line is free, the ringing tone is started, automatically and it continues until the telephone is answered or the caller 'hangs up. If the line is the busy 'signal is heard. When the receiver is hung at,the end of a • conversation, all • the switches return instantly, to their original positions and the equip- ment is ready for its next call. The dial tone, the ringing tone and the busy signal are all produc- ed by the ringing machine which is connected with. the. power ap- paratus. A spedial alarm system, which operates when any of the equip- ment fails, is also connected,to the power supply. The system consists of both visual and auditory signals, and through its use telephone men can locate the source of the trouble. within moments. 0 PLEAD TARIFF-CASE WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS Robert Wallace, Blyth, accom- panied by Albert Pond, Jarvis, in- terviewed various government of-, ficials in Ottawa last week with respect to the equalization of tar- iffs as it affects the turkey in- dustry, as well as' other pertinent matters of the industry. Mr. Wal- lace reports favourable reactions to their efforts.—Blyth Standard. a Manufacturing now employs one out of four working Canadians ,the same proportion as in the United States. The .early development of tele,. phone service in Canada, between, 1877 and 1880, was almost entirely due to Professor Melville Bell and his • friend, the Reverend Dr. Thomas Henderson, Dr, Henderson became general agent for the Bell Telephone in, the Dominion and soon had-'1,agenta located in many eities and towns across the countrY. Many of these men were ..also plegraph, agents and public de- monstrations of the telephone were given over the telegraph wires often between the agent's licitse and the local telegraph office. Sometimes' telephone "concerts" were given with people. Sending. musical programs over the wires. to other towns. These were the earliest attempts at modern bread- casting. • On September 20, 1877, the first successful two-way long distance telephonetest in Canada took place over 200 miles of the Do- minion Telegraph Company's wires between Montreal and Quebec City, Stimulated by demonstrations conducted' by Melville Bell, Hugh Baker, a prominent Hamilton banker and sons of the founder of the Canada Life Assurance Com- pany, leased several telephones from Mr. Bell. He set them up on a line connecting his residence with those of three friends in order that they could play chess withoUt leaving their homes. This novelty led to the organiza- tion of the Hamilton District Tele- graph. Company in 1878. The first Canadian telephone switchboard-- the first in the British Empire— was installed in this company's of-, nee It enabled subscribers to talk to one another as desired without all telephones' being interconnected by direct lines. The biggest business' step for- ward was taken in April of 1880 .when the Bell Telephone Company of Canada was founded. It was organized by the .late Charles F. Sise, one of the ablest,businessmen in the history of this country. This company consolidated into' one nearly all the telephone com- panies then operating in Canada and proceeded to develop the 414, ness on an organized: basis. At first it was intended that the .company amid serve all of but the tremendous distances: between the various sections of the country Proved too formidable an obstacle, „. Later on another company grew- up British Columbia; and in the late eighties, separate companies were formed in the Maritime prov, Ames, When: the tide of immigra- tion began to populate the .pralries in the first decade of the present eenttiry, the governments of the- new provinces purchased' the Belt Telephone Company's plant ant: established, their own system. Municipal systems were formed to. operate the local exchanges in Fort- William and Port • Arthur, Please Don't Be Mrs. Frank Metcalf Blyth's oldest resident, Mrs. Frank Metcalf, died . Saturday morning, in Clinton Public Hospital where she had' been a patient for seven months, 'She would have been 100 had she' lived until her next birthday, Septembr 21. Formerly Mary Magdalene Cho- wan, Mitchell, she came as a bride to Myth 76 years ago, to-day. One daughter survives. She is Miss Ella Metcalf, also of Blyth. The body rested at the Tasker Memorial Chapel until Monday when service was conducted at Trinity Anglican Church and in- terment made in Mitchell cemetery A Nuisance On Sunday Night Clinton telephone users were.• asked this week to co-operate in, ensuring that the conversion to dial operation is completed smoothly, W, W, Haysom, Bell Telephone ' manager here, asked subscribers not -to place "curiosity calls" - other unnecessary calls at or near cutover time. The switchover will be made at about 2 a.m. Sunday—a time when - the volume of calls being handle& by the, local exchange is usually- light. few minutes before that time, , operators in' the old manual ex— change will start asking persons placing calls to call a feW minutes. later, using the dial. The change— over is expected to take less than two minutes' to complete. 0 Canada has some 1,340 power' laundries, dry cleaning and dyeing; plants with annual receipts of some $113,150,000.
