Old Liberty switchboard closes after 27 years of service
In New Haven Connecticut the manually operated switchboard that began service in May 1903 and ended in April 1930 marked the transition from magneto crank systems to automatic switching. It once handled 20 positions for 3 500 lines and 8 300 telephones. By 1917 it grew to 72 positions serving 11 000 lines and 21 000 telephones. The office became known as Liberty as central offices expanded and the old board faded, yet it remains a memory for operators and keepers of the system.
