. r t Switchboard In This State Used
f In 1878.
The telephone, which has become
one of the most interesting factors in
the new century progress. can hardly
. said to hava passed its infancy. It
was in Connecticut that the great
"'ngenci‘ in the transaction of business
. ‘liad Its, birth. The lirst telephone
, lilWltchboal'd that was ever used for
commercial objects was used in New
thaVen, Jan. 28. .1878. That does not
noon) to be a far away date. But, the
_ {progress that has been made in the
telephone world since the first coni-
merclsl switchboard was started in
the University city has been of a mar-
> lvelous character. The first telephone
..dire‘ctory was issued in New Haven.
. Febrl, 1878. It is a curiosity in itself
and is kept in the main oil'ico’ of the
anathern New England Telephone
Company with as much care as the
King Charles Charter of Connecticut
receives at the State Capitol in Hart-
ford. The list of subscribers was only
' ,‘flfty. The company was known as the
.1"'New Haven District Telephone Co.
‘In 1880 this company was_succeed-
ed by the (‘Jouuoctlcut Telephone
Company with exchanges to Bridge-
rt, New Ilach. Hartford. Mcrldcu.
ew Britain and Derby. The list of
subscribers had increased from 50 in
1878 to 1.500. 'I‘Ihe Southern New Eng-
land was incor oratcd in 1882.

pany comprises 350 pugcs. anti tho
book can be used for all practical pur-
poses as a business directory for the
principal towns and ciiics in (lotmccti-
cue. There have been vast improve»
ments in telephone apparatus and
equipment during the twouty~six yours
that have elapsed since the ilrst.
commercial switchboard was insinllcd
and used In New Haven. Those tui—
provements in the art of telephony
have been so radical at times that it
has‘ been found to be necessary to dis-
card as obsolete equipment that had
been Installed only a few years earlier
at great cost, This is illustrated by
the substitution of the common-bub
tery switchboard for the old magneto
system of switchlklard. that Is going
on in the Southern New England‘s
exchanges in this State. Within a
few weeks one of the new type of
nwltchboards will be Installed In tho
cities of Stamford and Norwulch. In
the New Haven exchange, the switch

the start. Nine of the number were
discarded. not because they \Vcrc un-

is practically 25,000,000. The bulk
of this multitude have (‘tlllit' since ilu-

high level in 1882 of nearly 800.000.
