Busu!
These are days when everyone is telephoning
when it often seems that the very person with
whom you wish most urgently to talk is continually
reported as "busy."
It is sometimes asked whether these reports
can be made with uniform accuracy. Just before
the operator completes the connection by means of
one of the switchboard cords, she taps the "plug"
end of the cord against the "jack" or terminal of the
called subscriber's line and hears a buzzing sound
if the line is in use. Of course, if a party-line
number is being called, the "busy" report may mean
that another subscriber on the line is using it.
It is always easier and quicker for the operator
to complete a connection than to report HtU line
m busy!" '
Busy men and women have busy telephones.
Naturally you may have to knock more than once
at their telephone doors.
