The operator then asks the subscriber by telephone what he wants, and on hearing the number of the other subscriber he wishes to speak with, she takes up a pair of brass plugs coupled by a flexible conductor and joins the lines of the subscribers on the switchboard by simply thrusting the plugs into holes corresponding to the wires.
As he explored the ship and minutely examined automatic circuit-breaker and switchboard and fuse, he even made it a point to see that his explorations took him into the pantry-like cabin next to the saloon from which these droning voices drifted.
Say, for instance, a filing clerk, a stenographer, a governess and a switchboard operator, who are sufficiently intelligent and proficient in their various occupations, to assume such a trust?" "Why, yes, I I think we have. I can find out, of course. Where do you wish to place them?" "That is the most difficult part of all, Miss Lawton. You must obtain the positions for them.
"I I cannot thank you, Doctor Cole." Kenny hung up, unaware that the doctor was adding further detail. Almost at once he unhooked the receiver and summoned the club central. Afterward Pietro, who took his turn at the switchboard when the day operator departed, spoke of the quiet curtness of his voice. "Pietro? Mr. O'Neill speaking.

I had to laugh in my sleeve as I suspected the same remarks may have been passed on us after our departure! We have much fun at our lunch table. A switchboard operator and file clerk from the office eats with us.
Then there came adaptations by the dozen. Every telephone manager became by compulsion an inventor. There was no source of information and each exchange did the best it could. Hundreds of patents were taken out. And by 1884 there had come to be a fairly definite idea of what a telephone switchboard ought to be.
Scotty had been listening, too. "How complicated can you get?" he asked. Dr. Morrison answered. "When it comes to missile work, you can get fantastically complicated. In fact, some missile systems are so complicated it's a wonder they ever work at all." The telephone rang. Barby, who served when necessary as the island's switchboard operator, ran to answer. In a moment she returned.
"Perhaps you are right," said Morgan. "I'll remember." Morgan then walked on up La Salle Street, while Marsh crossed over and entered the hotel once more. There was now only one person who might give him a really definite lead the night telephone operator and he went straight to her switchboard.
