Another reason why your telephone gives so much for so little Studying punched card record of dial system oper- ation. Each card (top) can report 1080 items. In a large, modern dial telephone office, 2,000,000 switch contacts await the orders of your dial—and 10,000 of them may be needed to clear a path for your voice when you make a single telephone call. Within this maze of signal paths, faults—though infrequent—must be detected and fixed before they can impair telephone service. The latest system developed by Bell Telephone Laboratories automatically de- tects its own faults, detours calls around them without delay—then makes out a “written” report on what happened. The fault may be a broken wire, or a high resistance caused by specks of dirt on switch contacts. In a second, the « trouble recorder punches out a card, not- ing the circuits involved and the stage in the switching where the fault appeared. Maintenance men examine the reports at intervals and lear what needs, atten- tion. Between times they go about their own duties in keeping service moving. This is another example of how research at Bell Laboratories helps your telephone serve you at top efficiency—and low cost.
