A total of 43,304.366 man-days

The accident frequency rate

Klamath Falls, Bly Scheduled

A "new look" in telephone
numbers for Klamath Falls and
Bly w ill appear in 1964, accord
ing to an announcement Nov.

Northwest Bell manager here.
The "new look" will be in the
way phone numbers are writ
ten and spoken, nut in pulls on
the dial wheel, Dickcrman said.
Tlie simple substitution of nu
merals for the two letters now
used will cause a typical Klam
ath Falls number to change in
"name only" from TU 4-3299 to
884-3299. In Bly El 3 switches
to 353. '

Phone System Shift
To Meet Population
Editor's Note: Klamath
Falls and Bly phone numbers
will switch from lettered to
numbered prefixes in June of
next year. Pacific Northwest
Bell and phone companies
around the nation say the
change is necessary to handle
population growth. This article
explains how and why.)
There's a large clock-like dial
on the wall outside the Bureau
of Census office in Washington,
DC, that now registers in the
neighborhood of 190 million,
symbolizing the country's popu
lation. Every few seconds, day and
night, the number increases by
one. And each year, the increas
es come at a little faster rate.
By the year 20O0, an estimat
ed 340 million Americans will
be living in this country. Fore
casts indicate they will be talk
ing with each other over some
600 million telephones.
Faced with the responsibility
for providing communications
service for these future multi
tudes, the phone companies in
this country recognized that the
present phone niunhering sys
tem could not handle this in
exorable growth.
A change of some kind
must be made, one w hich would
provide room for growth, yet
minimize real change in t h e
present system.
Several plans were considered
for increasing numbers while re
taining letters on phone dials.
Results showed each would
have made real number
changes necessary . for almost
all telephones in the country,
all on the same day. A virtual
impossibility.

several reasons, Dickerman
said.
Tlie major one is growth. Tel
ephones are being installed al
the rate of 15,000 a day in tlie
United States and Canada. And
each new customer needs a
phone number.
There are nearly 90 million
phones in the two countries to
day. There will be about 160 I
million by 1975.
Phone companies realized
some change must be made in
the phone numbering system to
meet this surge. They found
ANC the best solution because
it offers Hie greatest growth ac
commodation with the fewest
real changes from the present
system.
By adopting ANC, usable com
binations on a dial can be in
These same studies indicated
ANC (all number calling) of
fered the most advantages with
the last change in current dial
ing habits. And it could be
adopted without the massive up
heaval that alternate systems
would have required. Tlie sim
ple substitution of numerals for
the letters in prefixes could pro
vide growth room into the
next century.
With the ANC system, usable
combinations on a dial can be
increased by about 50 per cent.

ance for the future, coupled with minimum change from
today's dialing system, is afforded telephone users by
the letterless dial on the right. Local dials will eventually
be changed to this style but only after letters are no
longer used anywhere in the country.
Usable letter - numeral prefixes
such at TU 2 total some 540.
All-numeral prefixes allow some
800 combinations.
Why is this true when there
arc only three pulls in either a
letter-numeral or an all-numeral
prefix?
It boils down to the fact that
each pull on a phone dial sends
a certain command to the equip
ment in the telephone office. The
equipment will react in any one
of 10 ways, depending on which
of the 10 holes on the dial was
used for that pull.
Tlie symbol on each hole ft
meaningful to tlie person using
the dial but the equipment can t
tell whether that symbol is a
letter, a number, a color, or
even a picture of a peach, plum
or pear.
The problem then was to: Use
the present symbols on a dial
in tlie most convenient and
widely understood method avail
able. And at the same time
make tlie equipment respond as
close to its buill-in capacity as
possible.
What is that capacity: For
the prclix portion 'first three
pulls such as TU 2i of a phone
number, the theoretical ios
sibilitics arc:
Any of 10 choice for Ihe first
pull, times the same lany of
10' for the second pull, times
the same 'any of 10 1 fur the
third pull, or 10 x 10 x 10. This
theoretical total is 1.000 prelix.
es.
With all-number calling t h e
usable total of BOO prefixes is
figured by: Multiplying any of
eight holes for the first dial pull
ithe 1 and "0" or Operator arc
for special services', times any
of 10 for tlie second pull, times
any of 10 (or the third pull. Thus
8 x 10 x 10 equals 800 prefixes.
A look at the present method
shows three basic reasons for
the limit of MO prefixes using
two letters and a numeral such
as TU 2.

Usable letter-numeral prefixes
such as TU 2 total some 540. All
numeral prefixes allow some
800 combinations.
By the end of this year, about
half of the U.S. and Canada will
be using ANC. Outside of these
countries about 90 per tent of
the world's telephones use all
numbers. In Oregon nearly two-thirds
of the phones have ANC num
bers. This figure will rise to
more than nine out-of 10 by the
end of 1964.

Growth
The first and second dial pulls
are limited to eight choices
each because there are no let
ters on the dial by the first or
last hole. (A dial with 26 holes
would be needed to take advan
tage of the 26 letters in the
alphabet.)
Next, t he use of the last hole
(zero) for the third pull in a
prefix iTH 0 for instance! would
cause endless confusion w ith the
letter O ((wind in the sixth
hole.
Last, the letters associated
Maximum growth allow.
villi the filth, sevcnlh and ninth
holes (JKL, PliS and WXY) do
not form usable combinations
in several cases.
Thus, due to the three limita
tions above, the present system
gives: A letter potential of 8 x
II. or lit combinations fur the
first two pulls such as TU. Six
ty four x 9 Ithe choices lor the
liiird dial pull' totals 576 pre
fixes. Subtracting UB made imprac
tical by certain JKL, PUS and
WXY groupings leaves a net of
only 540 prefixes generally used
today. Kven il nameless prefix
es such as XS 1 were used to
employ the 36 now avoided, the
total of 576 prefixes would be
inadequate within a few years.
Experience thus far has shown
lliat all-number calling works
well in hundreds of cities and
towns around the country w here
it has been in general use for
as long as live years. In many
'if these communities, wrong
numliers have dropped since the
change to ANC.
LtKik-alikes such as the letler
I and numeral 1, the letter O
and numeral zero; and sound
alike such as HI and 1IY, CE
and TE. VU and TU arc some
of the sticklers avoided by all
numliers. Once letters have been re
moved from telephone dials the
numerals can be grcatlv en
