Telephone in Seaforth
Celebration of Anniversary on
Monday Recalls Extraordin-
ary Changes
The celebration on Monday nest
of the Diamond Jubilee anniversary
of the Bell Telephone Company re-
calls the extraordinary changes that
have been brought about by the
speeding up of voice communication.
The birthday of the Bell also reminds
us that Seaforth has continued to
benefit, down through the years, by
the hundreds of inventions and im-
provements which have refined tele-
phony and increased man's voice
range. Late last year, a new type
eonml.on battery telephone system
was introduced in this town.
Seaforth's present telephone cen-
tral office is in the Cardno Block on
Main street, the sante block, til
though not in exactly the same loca-
tion, in which the first exchange was
opened bete in 1.884.

A limited long distance service was
supplied to local subscribers float the
start. In fact, one of Mr. Papst's
strong selling points in securing sub•
scribers was that they would be able
to call Stratford and Godericb
and intermediate points, A line was
completed, in 1884. from Stratford to
Godericb through Mitchell, Sonforth,
and Clinton,
In '1885, a telephone line was run
from Stratforcl to London. By October
of tine saute year a. 550 -mile voice
highway extended from Sherbrooke to
Detroit through 11011)1eal, Toronto,
Hamilton, London, and Windsor. As
the human voice range was gradually
increased e

telephone s •
] e uses
were able
to reach more and more
points along the line, In 1885, the
practical range for a telephone con•
versatiol was about 100 miles, How-
ever, it atmospheric conditions were
very favorable one's voice would
travel over 200 utiles.
The use of copper wire, eel t 11 was
found to be ar much better voice con- li
ducto• than iron wire, and the intro- t
duction, in the early nineties, of y,
metallic circuits, inereased the range 1
of telephony to about 1000 miles, The
invention of the loading coil, in 1000, 14
doubled the distance over which voice tet
Impulses would travel along a wire. t
