Other cloekers record the errors made, the speed with which trouble, is re- paired, all the items of telephone efficiency. If speed and efficiency are not constantly on the climb these are the people who know it first and then there is a grand hunt to find out what's gone wrong. ' The number of errors of all kinds has been reduced from 40 in every 1,000 calls to 16, which is over ninety-eight per cent perfect. FIVE YEARS AGO you ran 27 chances in every 1,000 calls of getting the wrong num- ber. That is down now to 13 chances in 1,000, or nearly 99 times out of the 100 right. There are only two chances in a thousand now that you will be cut off. There were five chances in a thousand, five years ago. There used- to be eight times in a thousand calls when you would break in on somebody else s conversation. Now there are only two such double connections per thousand. It is a good game. It gets results. That is why your telephone serves you better this year than it did last year, and next year will serve you better than now. That is why it has contribut- ed its share to Canadian progress. a OR EXAMPLE, seven years ago the aver- age interval from the time you lifted your telephone receiver until the operator answered was 5.1 seconds. Today the clocker finds the interval cut to 3.7 seconds. Tomorrow it will be still less. Seven years ago there were 95 slow calls in every-1,000--a slow call being one in which the operator takes ten seconds or more to answer. Today there are only 33 in every thousand. HERE ARE "CLOCKERS" at work in other directions too and here are some of the things they have recorded. The time taken to repair trouble" on a line now has been cut to one-third of the time taken five years ago. The time taken to install a new telephone used to be three hours and forty~five minutes. It has been cut now to one hour and forty-five min- utes. That means something in hours` saved. with 139,000 telephones installed in Ontario and Quebec this year.

Forty-ve years ago the Isudbury camp was a mere infant in swad- dling clothes. -Since that time six hundred millions of dollars in wealth have been extracted from the bowels of the earth. uc granuuu The physical assets of these three companies are staggering, Mr. Davies said, but they are only three of '75 now in the eld. But even if all but the. three major companies failed, which was most unlikely, the future of vSud-bury district was assured. In the next twenty years the programs of the three big companies called for the expenditure of forty millions of dollars, `International Nickel. $20,000,000, Mondi $12,000,000 and `Treadwell-Yukon $8,000,000. The optimism of the men in the north was fully justified, he said, in view of these stable figures, for they provided proof that the Sud- bury camp `was the richest in Can- ada, if not in North America.

Forty is about where I like to drive best. However, I can tell you some- thing: I don't eat anybody s dust on the road. Let s analyze the foregoing. You have often wondered why one car of the same make is so much better than another and what bearing, if any, the question had on the matter. Undoubtedly no two cars are exactly the same, but they are as nearly alike as standardized: material and produc- tion can make them. The question and answer have a real bearing on the subject.
