PALEN Phone 97 COLBORNE ^e clears the LINE IN THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS this man is called a "trouble-shooter'/ which may sound like sport but it isn't for him. Any hour of the night he may be roused from sleep. Somewhere the line is down and it is up to him to fix it. Right away. Usually the line is down because there has been a storm. It isn't much fun to cling to the top of a pole with a zero gale taking your breath away. FINDING THE BREAK in the line is not as bad as it used to be. It used to mean that men had to trudge along through the storm, perhaps for miles, until the bad spot was found. Today there are delicate instruments which can locate the spot within a few rods from an office many miles away. They are so accurate that if there is a break in the 180 miles of line between Toronto and Sarnia, a man can sit in a building in Toronto and locate the spot within a pole's length or so. Or a man can sit in a building in Montreal and find a break anywhere between there and Quebec. He can tell the trouble-shooter almost the very pole to go to because every pole now is numbered. BUT THE TROUBLE-SHOOTER has to do the actual job and it means more than losing sleep or braving bad weather. It calls for very high technical skill. Big cables are simply lead containers holding hundreds of tightly packed wires, each fine as a hair. When the cable is burnt out for a* stretch, or is opened, there is a fine looking mess. It looks like the stuffing of a hair mattress. Each of these hundreds of fine wires has to be connected again to its mate in the other half of the cable. If you can imagine youself fingering those wires at two o'clock of a stormy wintry morning you will realize how good the trouble-shooter has to be1 at his job. STORMS COST MONEY as well as discomfort. The telephone system has over 675,000 miles of wire strung on poles stretching across 23,000 miles of country and every storm hits some part of the system. A big storm can do a great deal of damage. Sleet has cost the telephone company as muc^h as a million dollars in one year. Sometimes one storm means spending more than $100,000 without delay. There is no time to call the directors together. The job has to be done and the money must be spent. The money is ready because the telephone company has followed a policy of making definite provision for such emergencies. And the job is done because the telephone business has men and women, like the trouble-shooter, alive to the meaning of service-and eager to keep the telephone in the front rank of Canadian progress.
