record the errors made the speed with which trouble is re paired all the items of telephone efficiency if speed and efficiency are not constantly on the climb these arc the people who know it tint and then there is a grand hunt to and out whats gone wrong it is a good game it gets results that is why your telephone serves you better this year than it diil last year and next year will serve you better than now that is why it has contribut ed its share to canadian progress for example seven years ago the aver age interval from the time you lifted your telephone receiver until the operator answered was 51 seconds today the docker finds the interval cut to 37 seconds tomorrow it will be still less seven years ago there were 95 slow calls in every 1000 a slow call being one in which the operator takes ten seconds or more to answer today there are only 33 in every thousand the number of errors of all kinds has been reduced from 40 in every 1000 calls to 16 which is over ninetyeight ier cent perfect five years ago you ran 27 chances in every 1000 calls of getting the wrong num ber that is down now to 13 chances in 1000 or nearly 99 times out of the 100 right there are only two chances in a thousand now that you will be cut off there were five chances in a thousand five years ago there used to be eight time in a thousand calls when you would break in on somebody elses conversation now there are only two such double connections per thousand there are clockers at work in other directions too and here are some of the things they have recorded the time taken to repair trouble on a line now has been cut to onethird of the time taken five years ago the time taken to install a new telephone used to be three hours and fortyfive minutes it has been cut now to one hour and fortyfive min utes that means something in hours saved with 139000 telephones installed in ontario and quebec this year pretty good results but the docker bnt satisfied nobody in the telephone business is ever satisfied with todays mark the system to morrow must alvays be better to keep pace with the canada of tomorrow 2 rttauiahw r jwi tvfrpaoa comptnv ottrnja to t0 m 110 mst fit feivfjtom
