box usually black plastic tucked up on a basement beam in your home it is placed quite close to the point where our telephone wire comes into your home we call this small boa an inside station protector aad we use it as a safety device where the inside wire aad the outside wire are joined it protects both our equip ment aad the t user from stray electrical cmi over 9t volts aad from l surgsa the p serves much the same purpose as the more feasfaar electri cal fuse except that tnslrarl of opening a bee as the fuse doss the protector grounds ft so seldom do- we have to change or repair these station protectors that i discovered recently that many homes still have those installed with their first telephone many years ago these are from the preplastic era and are ofwnite porcelain many too were placed in the days when cellars were cellars and not beautiful rec rooms family rooms or finished workshops when panel ling or attractive tile did not conceal bare ceiling beams people tooay are coaverung 1 w llvble rooms if 1 open 7 days a week 10 am 11 pm including sundays eejeaiebaaemeejimmeieeeweej then if you are installing a ceiling perhaps you could place a removable panel to give easy access to the black box it would also be to your advantage to provide access to the ground wire connection which usually runs from the protector to a nearby water pipe nnr are our installers or repairmen will seldom have to gain ac cess to these connections however if that need should arise it would take longer to restore your c and perhaps mar a beautiful ceiling if the protector or ground connections have been bidden by the panelling or ceuag tiles i wonder now many of you remem days when the telephone was stijl looked upon toy or the invention of the doru from
