Supervisor John Putnam Explains
the System the Two pistinct
Classes of Operators and
Their Duties
John Putnam, supervisor of trai'»
tic of the Southern New England
Telephone Company. has written for
“The Telephone Bulletin" on explana-
tion or the method used by the com-
pany in handling its toll calls. In the
course or his article he says:
In taking up any operating sub
jcct, it is. puritans, oi iirst import-
ance to distinguish between the va-
rious operators involved in the run
line of any call that [)65888 through
on operating room. This particularly
applies to employees who are not
working every day with an operating
force. What may seem self-evident
to the truiiic man is not at all so
evident to other employees. The 0p~
orator who answers su-hscrlbors' calls
and takes his orders, is known as the
“A” operator or subscribers opera-
tor. tShe may complete the aubscrl~
means of the multiple jacks or in
another exchange over trunk lines.
The "B” operator is an operator's
operator; that is, she puts up con-
nections for other operators. The-
oretically she may he at an inward
toil, or ring down trunk position.
with the subscribers' multiple in front
of her, or she may be at a "B" posi~
lion. In the latter case, she puts up
, connections by moons of trunks. which
are wires extending from her board to
another switchboard. One reason for
the "Ii“ operator is easily understood
whon we consider that to give the toil
oiwrntors in a large. authorize a sub».
scribers multiple would cost 33 000 for
QH‘rY three positions or 81000 per
operator.
Toll traffic. in comparison with the
day's traiiic is small, in an exchange
like New ‘liavcn there are about 70.-
000 local calls per day and from 1,900
o 2.000 toll and long distnnctI calls.
The toll operators in Connecticut are
divided into two classes. inward toll
operators. and outward toll operators.
An inward toll operator completes
calls in the multiple for other ex-
changes. The outward toll operator
makes the ticket, calls the distant can
change and cmuplt-lcs the connection.

ing. as ticket writimr is called. have

allow the line‘oparator at the arisinat-
ing exchange to deal with the distant
subscriber directly. The method is
known as the 103 method and was
first put in use in Connecticut in Jim
nary, 1905. 'This resulted in so much
economy in handling toll work‘and so
much increase in speed in the service
that it has been in use with modiih
cations ever since.
One of the next moves in toll open
sting was to dispense with the record
ing operator. the "A" operator con».
necting the calling subscriber directly,
to the line operator. who makes the
ticket, orders up the snbscrlbers' line
over the “13" board. calls the inward
toll operator at the distant exchange.
who calls the desired subscriber's ata-
tion.
The 103 Method of operating has
been still further developed into
what is known as the A-B MethOd.
in this method the subscriber calls
the “A" operator. who makes a two-
number ticket and calls the “B" op~
crtor at the distant exchange whO.
it is evident that the Connecticut
method of operating is at all times
half A~B and from the small ex-
changes when one operator is on duty

her. We have not gone wholly to the
A—li Method, as our experience in mi:-
ing toll and local operating at the
same board has not convinced us oiiis
desirability. Under certain
loads, the “A" operator can handle
a toll call very comfortably.
