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.

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.

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.)
