Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Helping to speed your telephone call. Telephone man Byron Jensen tests the intricate equipment that gets your number quickly and accurately. PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANSEL ADAMS
He keeps an electric brain thinking clearly
You benefit from skills like his whenever you use the telephone
Instructing Boy Scouts.
Byron, a troop chairman, shows
scouts how to orient themselves
with a map and compass in the
beautiful Wasatch Range near
Provo, Utah.
Every time you make a call over a
dial telephone. you start an electric
brain "thinking" in one of our offices.
First, it tells you when to start
dialing by means of a tone. Selects
your number automatically from
many thousands or millions. Then
rings your party or tells you the line
is busy.
Such equipment is indeed remarkable.
But with all its electronic
magic, it still needs the help of
people. Day and night, there is con-
tenuous checking and maintenance
by telephone office craftsmen like
Byron Jensen.
“A big part of the job,” he says,
“is to keep trouble off the lines. For
every one of those calls is important
to someone. And some can be very
important.
"Not only personal calls, but fire
alarms, burglar alarms, radio pro-
grams and even newspaper pictures
go through this same equipment.”
Each Sunday Byron teaches a
class for boys. Many of his evenings
and week ends are dovoted to Boy
Scout work.
For a person who enjoys helping
Others, he finds his telephone work
particularly satisfying.
"Whenever I watch those dial
switches work," he says, "I get the
feeling I’m at the nerve center of
the community.”
