How Long Distance Service Is Constantly Guarded
As carefully as the sentinel guards the cVimp of his
comrades in time of war, we guard your telephone
talks over the long-distance telephone lines:
Your telephone is sheltered in home or office, bpt
the wires connecting it with telephone in other cit
ies and towns cross bleak mountain ranges and
storm-swept prairies, subject constantly to the
ravages of the elements.
Day and night the wire chiefs watch the circuits,
testing them, keeping them clear and preparing
in cases of emergency to rush repairmen to the
scene of trouble.
Every morning at 6 o’clock, before the day’3
business begins, tests are made with delicate appa
ratus, and with it the place can be determined
within at least 1 00 feet where a loose wire, a brok
en cross-arm or even a broken tree brancji hang
ing in the wire 3, may be causing trouble.
Every month repairmen go over all the circuits.
Cross-arms damaged by lightning are repaired,
poles or wires loosened by the wind are strengthen
ed, broken insulators are replaced and all other
needed repairs are made. Even overhanging
. trees are trimmed up properly.
To insure the public against sudden breaking of
poles, carrying down with them perhaps a score of
wires, at regular intervals pole-to-pole inspections
are made. Every pole is tested, decayed wood scra
ped away and a record of the condition of each
pole placed on file so that replacements may be
made as needed.
Carefully, constantly and unceasingly the long
distance lines are guarded to provide immediate
service.
