Flr.t Step Toward Reconstruction
of Whole Byatem nnI Dropping
Manna Hus Ilceu Tuken.
Ab a risnlt of two weeks of storms,
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company has been slightly delayed In
carrying out Its Decemoer changes
planned In connection with the J3.
500.000 reconstruction programme.
UntLiii'dr th r fn n na t r l. n t i f. n U'Ork
was resumed last week and the com
pany is devoting its attention to the
Change over of automatic office
equipment.
The co-ordination committee esti
mates the cost of the Dccniber pro
gramme, now kinder way at approx
imately $150,000. Under the working
schedule many telephone numbers
will be changed with the Issue of the
telephone directory for Eecember
about January 7. Preparatory work
has be;n In progress for thr-e months
to line up automatic offices for the
change, which will involve the place
ment of a large number of new-type
"slx-d'glt automatic" Instruments for
the old, type which has been In use up
until this time, and the chmge of a
number of automatic telephones in
scattered districts of the city to man
ual operation.
Dlnl Position nt llano.
The new "slx-dlglt automatic" In
struments are similar to the present
manual telephones. The dial posi
tion on these instruments !a on the
base. These changes are but a few
more steps toward the call Indicator
method of operation. With the In
stallation of these new telephone in
struments, however, the subscriber
will not dial manual numbers and
will contlnuo to operate manual calls
on the five-numeral basis. The "slx
dtglt" operation, which carries with
It complete co-ordination of all tele
phones in the city, will n; a further
step, which will come In the fall of
1922. Changes to take place this
month under the readjustment of au
tomatic offices are listed by C. E.
Hickman, division commercial super
intendent, as follows:
"At the Arleta office the Job of
replacing 1600 telephones In the
Mount Scott district has already been
started. New-typo Instruments will
replace tho old. This work. Is esti
mated to cost $24,000, and will be
complete by J-anuarylO. By the lat

"Many of the subscrlbo.'s connected
with the 'M' automatic office, who
win oe sniiLou mi. muniu 10 manual
operation through the dellwood of
fice, havo already had their telephone
Instruments changed. A total of 40
more are to be shifted to the Tabor
office this month. 'IV office will ul
timately be abandoned as a unit of
operation.
"Ultimately 'C office will also be
abandoned. Late this week 350 tele-
phones will be shifted to the Colum
bia office and manual instruments
will be Installed to replace the auto
matic instruments. The 'C office
work will cot approximately $45,000.
Triple leading coils will be Installed
