Facts and Figures on Your Telephone Facts and Figures on Your Telephone
Edwin F Hill reports that long distance telephone service has become the fastest on record with an average establishment time of two and a quarter minutes, down from eleven and a half minutes five years ago. Interruptions and transmission problems were at record lows, aided by cable expansion with 80 percent of Bell system long distance wire in cable, up from 24 percent twenty years earlier. Last year 3,155,000 miles of cable were added, open wire circuits declined by 164,000 miles, and storm-proof cable now links about 75 percent of cities with 50,000 inhabitants or more.
