Sold in Colborre b G. M PEEBLES EST " the Telephone THIS YOUNG LADY'S JOB is to "clock" the telephone service. She sits there with her decimeter stop watch and measures to tenths of a second the time taken to complete a call. Other "dockers" record the errors made, the speed with which "trouble" is repaired, all the items of telephone efficiency. If speed and efficiency are not constantly on the climb these are the people who know it first and then there is a grand hunt to find out what's gone wrong. It is a good game. It gets results. That is why your telephone serves you better this year than it did last year, and next year will serve you better than now. That is why it has contributed its share to Canadian progress. F OR EXAMPLE, seven years ago the average interval from the time you lifted your telephone receiver until the operator answered was 5.1 seconds. Today the clocker finds the interval cut to 3.7 seconds. Tomorrow it will be still less. Seven years ago there were 95 slow calls in every 1,000--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 1,000 calls to 16, which is over ninety-eight per cent perfect. FIVE YEARS AGO you ran 27 chances in every 1,000 calls of getting the wrong number. That is down now to 13 chances in 1,000, 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 times in a thousand calls when you would break in on somebody else's 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 lias been cut to one-third of the time taken five years ago. The time taken to install a new telephone used to be three hours and forty-five minutes. It has been cut now to one hour and forty-five minutes. That means something in hours saved, with 139,000 telephones installed in Ontario and Quebec this year. PRETTY GOOD results. But the clocker isn't satisfied. Nobody in the telephone business is ever satisfied with today's mark. The system tomorrow must always be better to keep pace with the Canada of tomorrow.
