“What’s that
for, Mister?”
LIKE the small boy, you may have
jt wondered what the “transposi
tion brackets” are for, which you have
noticed on telephone poles along the
public highway.
Thev are an invention to help pre
vent “noise” on telephone lines.
By changing the relative position
of telephone wires at proper intervals, "
“noise” caused by electrical disturb- ^
ance from nearby light and power ^
lines or other telephone wires, can be largely overcome.
The transposition bracket was devised to change the position of
telephone wires accurately at regular intervals.
It has required years of study and experiment to in
vent and perfect such equipment as will enable us to
provide reliable telephone service at the lowest possible
cost to the public.
