Mtnut&¢turla= Co, SHELTON-MASON COUNTY JOURNAL Pae .7 Telephone workmen are shown on the Agate Beach side of Hammersley Inlet where they are lashing aerial cable around a strong wh'e for aerial support. The aerial cable continues for several miles, after which open wire takes its place along earl- cud side roads to reach the homes of new customers. The line- man on the pole is Calvin Matthews. Construction foreman Clare Davis is standing in back of the cable warning sign and lineman Jams H. Daniels stands on the truck. More Telephones for Arcadia and Agate Beach Families Busy days for Don Smith, Shelton's central office re- pairman is shown above, soldering a connection that loins a new customer's lir with the telephone company's switchboards. Customers' lines converge in huge cables which enter the telephone building un- derground and come up through the floor. The lines are then "fanned" for iden- tification on the racks in the foreground before they are connected. -7"-- Submarine Cable Connects New Customers With Shelton Switchboards There will be many more new telephones in homes in the Arcadia and Agate Beach communities, when the Pacific company winds up a current $50,000 Job of extending its lines to reach new customers in these districts. Work started early in February and is almost com)leted. A few cus- tomers were being provided service early this month, but the majority of those waiting will not be served until telephone crews finish their work early next month. Extension of the company's lines will bring telephones to approximately 50 families in the Agate Beach district and to about 25 customers on the Arcadia side of tfammersley Inlet. Backbone of the project was the laying of an 1800 foot section of sub- marine cable across Hammersley Inlet. Many customers on the Agate Beach side of the inlet are now served from open wires which wind 20 miles around tile head of the bay. The new submarine cable eliminated the necessity for all this construction, making it possible to provide telephones much sooner. An aerial cable was erected from the Shelton telephone office to a point on the Arcadia side of Hammersley Inlet. Here the lines were divided and part of the circuits reserved for new telephones on the Arcadia shle. The remainder of the lines were spliced on to the'submarine cable which was laid across the inlet to bring service to new customers at Agate Beach. The submarine cable, held up by a tog float, was pulled across the channel by a winch line. Construction men are building more new lines than ever before, but seldom has any one job made use of all types of telephone construction--open wire, aerial cable and submarine cable--as this one did. J. M. Thomas, manager of this district for the Pacific Telephone and I Telegraph Company, pointed out that Simlton's telephone system has • expanded at an unprecedented rate ia the last few years. Today there is a total of 2,459 telephones in service compared with 1,o3,) in 1946. It now takes a crew of 20 telephone operators to handle tile approximately 11,000 calls each day, compared with the approximately 6,000 calls handled in 1.946, when only 10 (perators w(r( eml h)yed. Th( numb(r of swit(hboards in the office has more than doubled for a total el 9 compared with the 4 in use only 3 years ago. Much of the new demand for telephone servfee is from suburban dis- tricts, which necessitates the construction of ninny ]nil( s of telephone line t.o reach customers. Thomas said Ills company is'c.urrentlv under way on the greatest expanstou program in its history, designed to provide a 'tale- phone for anyone who wants one, anywhere. right, Gloria Robinson, Anne 4 Busy days at the switchboards, too, as the number of sub- scribers keeps climbing. Above, from left, are Jeanne Peterson, Anne Hendrlcks and Mary Cole. The number of operators and the number of switchboards in use at Shelton have doubled in the last three years. Power winch on this truck pulled the heavy submarine cable across the 1500 feet of Hammersley Inlet. From left are line- men James H. Daniels and Calvin Matthews, guiding the winch line. The submarine cable which now spans Hammersfey Inlet was attached to this float for suppo'rt during the crossing. The float "turned turtle"' as it was being winched across the inlet and telephone men are shown righting it. The cable contains a gas under preesure to provide a warning of a bre=ak in the cable and to prevent penetration of wa'ter until a break can be repaiged. (In the top picture at the right there is an ez'ror in the cut line. Tlle busy operators at the switchboard are from left to Hendricks and Jean Peterson.) .ou ...o..,,. w.,.. w,.. ,., , that saves up to gallens of water per load fur water to the size of the load All you do rs set a h a 2hl.ak, I. 13.8. ]Pat.
