Zing! .; . and the damage is done.
A bullet.:. intended for game:;; pierces
an exposed telephone cable.
Instantly, hundreds of wires are open to
the ruinous effects of moisture.
Instantly, too, nitrogen gas .:; stored in
the cable under pressure .;. begins its slow
escape, keeping dangerous moisture out;
And, as the gas pressure falls, a small con
tact closes and an alarm is sounded in a
Bell Telephone testroom many miles away;
Through mathematical plotting the break
is readily located and, within minutes, an
emergency crew is on its way. Repairs are
frequently made before telephone service
is interrupted.
This alarm system is but one of countless
expedients all of which relied the initiative
and ingenuity of Bell System personnel..; '
