LINE
IN THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS this
man is called a “trouble-shooter’,’ which
may sound like sport but it isn t for him.
'Any hour of the night he may be roused from
sleep. Somewhere the line is rdown and it is
up to him to fix it. Right away,
Usually the line is down because there has
been a storm. It isn’t much fun to cling to the
top of a pole with a zero gale taking your
breath away.
FINDING THE BREAK in the line is not
as bad as it used to be. It used to mean that
men had to trudge along through the storm,
perhaps for miles, until the bad spot was
found. Today there are delicate instruments
which can locate the spot within a few rods
from an office many miles away.
They are so accurate that if there is a break in
the 180 miles of line between Toronto and
Sarnia, a man can sit in a building in Toronto
and locate the spot within a pole's length or
so. Or a man can sit in a building in Montreal
and find a break anywhere between there and
Quebec.
He can tell the trouble-shooter almost the very
pole to go to because every pole now is num
bered.
