It usedto mean men had to trudge along through the storz teow ge for miles, the bad spot was ound. Today there are delicate instruments which can locate the spot within a few rods from an office many miles away, the 180 miles of line be a man can sit im.a building aly locate the spot within a colts length or Or a man can sit in a building in Montreay and find a break anywhere between there and Quebec. He can tell the trouble-shooter almost the very pre to go to because every pole now is num- ered. UT 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. hen the cable is burnt out for a stretch, or is opened, there is a fine looking mess. It looks ks like the the stuffing of a hair mat- tress. = of these hundreds of fine wires has to be onnected again to its mate in the other half of the cable. If you can imagine youself finger- ing those. wires at two o'clock of a stormy wintry morning you will realize how good the trouble-shooter has to be at his job. TORMS COST MONEY as well as dis- comfort, The telephone system has over 675,000 miles of wire g on poles stretch- ing 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 compan: million dollars in one year. © storm means spending more than $100,000 without delay.
