For each long distance call, we must set aside
an entire circuit made up of two wires.
Enough of these circuits must be built, oper
ated and kept in repair to provide service to
any point at any moment. For many hours each
day the wires are idle, but they must always be
ready for service should anyone want to use
them.
Telephone calls cannot be hung on a hook
to bo distributed out through several hours, as
operators may have time, or wires may be clear,
to send them. Every call must be handled aa
quickly as possible, because there is a party
ready to talk.
The large majority of long distance calls are
handled in a few hours during the busy part of
the day. The rest of the time an expensive
equipment is practically idle.
Only One Conversation On a Circuit
If a railroad company were forced to keep a
track clear from one end to the other for each
train and haul but one car at a time- on that
train, freight rates would be extremely high.
Only one telephone message at a time can bo
carried on the telephone track of two wires. For
every telephone call we must have a clear track
from one end to the other.
Many long distance lines carry very fow
calls not enough to pay the cost of keeping the
wires in repair yet to give a univorsal service
these lines must bo held ready for such calls as
our patrons want to send.
