Seaforth to Have New
Phone System
Announcement was made this week:
to The News by Manager J. M. Mc-
Intosh of the Bell Telephone Co.
that Seaforth will soon have a new
telephone system.
"Following the change from the
present ,magneto service to common
battery, operation fn October," Mr.
McIntosh said, "'.it will not longer be
necessary for Seaforth telephone
users to signal the operator by means
of the crank attachment. With the
new system, lifting the receiver auto-
matically causes a ,light to appear on
the switchboard indicating to the
,operator, that a subscriber wishes to
place a ical, A corresponding discon-
nett signal is given when the conver-
sation is ended .and the receiver re-
placed on the hook."
The new switchboard is one of the
latest products of tete telephone lab-
oratories, according to Manager Mc-
Intosh. Made in Canada 'by the Nor-
thern Electric Co. it is of a type
found to be very efficient for towns
of this size., It will .provide speedy,
dependable service under all operating
conditions and is large enough to take
care of Sea'forth's normal telephone
development for many years to conte.
VVith the common battery type of
switchboard the •battery supply nec-
essary to the operation of the tele-
phone Is centralized in the telephone
exchange, thereby eliminating the
necessity' for individual •batteries in
each ,telephone instrument, — tiros
smaller and neater instruments are
made possible:
Local subscribers should lake note
of the fact that with the new system
it maybe necessary to change some
existi l telephone numbers, Mr, Mc-
Intosh'.said. Therefore merchants and
other business men,who are in
the
habit
of having their telephone num-
bers printed on note paper or in any
way e. hiibiting them on signs or ve-
hicles will save unnecessary expense
by 'waiting until theye
Y are assigned
their nn'bers before buying large ad-
ditional supplies of stationery or ad-
vertising matter,
