At the time of the cutover these picks will be removed simultaneously, so that all telephones can be converted to dial operation in less than two minutes. Can Serve 1,800 Dial equipment initially instal- led in the new building will be sufficient to serve 1,800 tele- phones, enough to meet the tele- phone needs of Clinton for some time after the changeover. There is enough space in the building to permit the addition of more dial equipment to handle future grow- th of telephone demand in the area, and the building is so de- signed that an extension can be built to house even more equip- ment when the need arises. New Numbers Co -incident with the cutover, all telephone numbers will be changed to consist of two letters and five figures, to conform to the uniform numbering plan which is becoming standard throughout Canada and the United States. Telephone users will be advised well in advance of their new num- bers, which will also be contained in a special supplement to the telephone directory. The supple- ment will be issued shortly before the cutover. Mr. Haysom pointed out that in Clinton it would be sufficient to dial only the final four digits to make local calls. However, he stressed that it would be import- ant to use the complete number- two letters and five figures—when using long distance service, or on letterheads, signs, vehicles or ad- vertising material where the, tele- phone number normally appears. Referring to the overall cutover project, Mr. Haysom said that the work is progressing according to schedule. The wire -and -cable network is being adapted for use under the dial system.
