plate the diaphragm which vib rates in response to the pound wave created by the voice Each vibration moves the diaphragm millionth of an inch Behind Che diaphragm in a tiny chamber minute grains of roasted coal about specks no larger than a through which electric current flows When the grains arc push ed tighter together by the dia phragm the current becomes stronger When the pressure is released less current flows so the flow of current is varied as diaphragm vibrates The telephone transmitter acts also as an amplifier which mag nifies the energy of the voice in to electrical energy times greater Through the wires the current flows to the receiver of the dis tant telephone There it courses through a coil wound about a ma gnet The strength of the mag nets pull reflects the

dwellers None of them final or perfect of modern living mark the point to which human need for expression has brought mankind the point from which advances will continue to be made the telephone itself is a vast network of wire and cab le of switchboards and machin ery at batteries and electric gen erators of people and buildings That network has been develop ed in answer to Canadas need for of expression and help her assume a leading posit ion in the business of the world Tlu nerve centre of telephone service is office There is equipment which any specific telephone may be connected with any cither tele phone desired Depending on the size of the community there may be one or many interconnected central offices that whole lo cal network is called the exch ange Under the dial system local connections Are made by ingen ious elect mechanical devices which receive the electrical im pulses Mm out intntion of the telephone dial to desired Dial central office indicates its readiness to give ser vice by giving a distinctive mil llummnim known As a dial tone It means the same thing as the human operat ors Number please Dial tone is the indication that you have a clear path to the automatic swit ches which will your duett- ion connect you with Ihe number you desire If dial lone is not heard almost immediately it means simply hut the equipment Is occupied for the moment with other calls To Avoid getting a wrong number or no number at all have only wail until that ready comes When you dial a number you will hear clicking sounds as you the dial after each digit These clicks represent the num ber of electrical impulses being sent over the line the central office switches Two impulses are created by dialing the figure three by the figure 3 and so on Working their way through a maze complicated machinery these impulses find a path from your telephone to the one you wish to call When in a very few seconds that path is complete the called telephone wilt ring or the busy signal will be heard The precision required calls for equipment that is accurate intri cate and enduring It is costly to make install and maintain in perfect order There are thous ands of different parts and every one must be precisely made and adjusted with hairbreadth exact ness to ensure proper functioning of the whole central office ma chinery Many Inventions For Long Distance

party will dial the number of the party they wish to reach then bans up A- gain both telephones will ring until calling answers and proredure same on twoparty lines The excellence long distance transmission today is of several major inventions and many minor improvements in the last years By the of century had been found that in order to transmit the voice in sufficient volume over many miles of wire it was necessary to use thick wire In wires as thick as a lead pencil were being used to trans mit long distance conversations miles It was an expensive awkward arrangement Then in that same year load ing coils were invented like an enlarged doughnut they made by wrapping thin wire many many times around a soft iron core or ring When these coils are connected at intervals the telephone line the elect ileal current carries farther and voice vibrations are not so weak ened Hilt it possible to talk over lines miles long with wires reduced In one eighth of their former weight leading coils themselves have further and many thousands of them me used on telephone lines today The next big step in long dist ance telephone development was introduction of the telephone repeater If you were put down the figure 1 and add zeros you would have the millions of bill ions of times your voice may have to he amplified to carry A- cross continent on a telephone line Power of this magnitude cap- not be fed into the wires all at once has to he spread line means of stations which might be likened to a hue of stronglunged men posted on hilltops The find shouts a message the next picks it up and relays it with re newed volume to the third man and so on The stronglunged man that a rejicaler station houses Is a small lube electronic vacuum lube not unlike the amplifier lube in a receiving set In the tube a tailing voice current passes the variations of the voice along to a current just the baton is passed from a runner to a fresh one in a relay race Theoretically theie no limit to the number of times a voice current may be renewed You could telephone from the earth lo the moon if a modern long dis tance line ran that far CANDIES BEAUTIFULLY WRAPPED FOR CHRISTMAS AFTER
