Old Kentucky Telephone Company switches on in Winchester
At seven o clock Tuesday morning the Old Kentucky Telephone Company activated its new exchange in the Barnes Building on Maple Street. The plant includes a 1000 line main switchboard with capacity for 2800 lines, a toll board, and a fully staffed operation for seven operators, supported by a gas engine, dynamo, and storage batteries. The system uses 5000 connecting holes and over 14 000 platinum tipped springs, with a Swedish invention enabling direct connections without ringing the party on party lines. The setup promises easier connections, improved supervision by the chief operator, and town-wide maneuverability via a centralized wire chief who can relocate wires without changing subscriber numbers.
