The Facts of the Telephone Situation in North Carolina By 4. Kppa Brown, Prssldsnt. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE A TELEGRAPH COMPANY Quality of the Service Mar to tba war, tba telephone service In JVsrtb Carolln was equal to tbe best. Serv ice report# from all parts of the United Statea establish this, fact. Today the service la not equal to tbe pre war standard. This is the direct result of furnishing the present abnormally large volume of service, both exchange and toll. We are now furnishing a far greater vol ume of service than the plant was designed and constructed to furnish. We had no al ternative. The vital needs of the publle, both commercial and social, required that we do this. This demand for service continues to grow larger and more Insistent. Every telephone that we Install, and every additional toll measage that Is transmitted, before tbe ad ditions to tbe plant now under conetructlon are completed and put into service, delays and prevents tbe Improvement of the service. Efficient telephone service involves two fundamental prerequisites: (a) Adequate facilities, including an un used margin of not leas thsn II per eent. (b) An adequate force of trained and skill ed workers. Tbe amount of switchboard equipment la every central office Is engineered upon the basis of the average dally number of calls to be bandied. This determines the number of operators' positions for eseb switchboard. Each operator can handle only a given num ber of calls per hour. When tbe number of calls per hoar exceed the maximum capacity of tbe switchboard, and Is beyoad the human endurance of the operator, tbe connections ■imply cannot be promptly mad*. Since tbe switchboards now In service were Installed the average dally number of calls has materially Increased, so that tbe switch boards are today carrying a greater load than they were engineered snd con structed to carry.

C. disappeared, havlag bNo put Into daily oon . stant use. This makss It Impossible to add additional operators, or to adjust tba load >o meet varying oonditions. This la equally true of the toll fwltcfr boards. The toll circuits are, likewise, engineered and constructed to transmit a certain num ber of messages daring a definite period of time. ' When a greater number of meesagee Is forced upon the toll lines, the quality of service Is Inevitably Impaired. Today, a greater load Is plaoed upon tbe ton circuits than they were designed to, or can, efficient ly carry. There Is nothing haphasard or accidental In a telephone plant. Bach part Is engineer ed to perform a definite function, the serv ice being dependent upon each part func tioning as designed. Tbe switchboard Is tbe heart of the serv- Ice. The maximum capacity of tbe switch board measures both the quantity and the qnsllty of the service. ' The operators hare more-than done their part If the public could know wbat efforts, and In many instances sacrifices, they have made to serve you, you would be as grata fnl to these fine women ak Is tbe Company. While the sendee Is not now as efficient as our pre-wsr service, a very large per cent of all call*, both exchange and toll. Is efMdently handled. It Is the small percentage of calls which go amiss that occasion criticism In tba minds of the Individual subscribers, who ac cept the larger percentage of calls satisfac torily handled, as a matter of course. These are the facts; conditions, not theor ies, an the sole cause of the present situ ation « The quality of oervtce furnished by this Company. Is always the composite of condi tions, Just as Is service furnished by any oth er business enterprise, public or private. Service is dependent upon and varies with conditions.
