So effective wis their solution thst this prodigious task is now a matter of smooth routine. They designed desks which enable each operator to reach quickly the listings of some 15,500,000 telephones. They developed apparatus which automatically routes calls to operators not busy —and should all operators be busy at once, it stores up calls and releases them in the order received!
