Listening Stick Bows To Progress Today the "listening stick," like the bustle, the mustache cup and the rubber collar is only a mu seum piecq, but there are many oidtime telegraphers who recall pleasantly the days when it was the magic wand, the mahogany baton that marked their trade. The gentle tick of a pocket watch, when conducted to the ear through a listening stick, can be heard even in a noisy room. This ability to single oat sound made the listening stick an important tool to old-time tele graph repeater attendants. The listening stick was an in genious but simple device de signed by Bell System engineers and made by Western Electric early in the 1900's to aid the tele graph room attendant of the day. And that harried guy needed help. Often hundreds of telegraph in struments, spread on tables in one small room, clattered away simul taneously. Attendants shouted or ders back and forth above the din. In this babel of electrical and human voices, even an expert technician had difficulty reaching across a table to pick out one elec trical voice from the many. The listening stick did the trick. Made of finest mahogany, the listening stick is about two feet long and five eighths of an inch thick. It operated much like a doc tor's stethoscope. The telegrapher would place one end of the stick containing a hollow wooden ear piece to his ear and the other end against the frame of the instru ment The sound, moving by con duction through the closely knit fibres of the mahogany, focused at his ear. As a doctor judges the regularity of heart beats, the tele graph man determined the clarity of dots and dashes coming through. He could detect any flaws in the adjustment of the instru ment and concentrate on one cir cuit at a time. Today, thanks to modern switchboards, toll-cable networks, vacuum tube amplification and other improvements. Bell System telegraph repeater rooms are about as quiet as an ordinary liv ing room and the listening stick is just a pleasant memory to old time "brass pounders."
