You have probably heard it on some calls after you have given a number to the operator and while waiting for the called telephone to answer. It indicates that the called telephone is ringing. It is a low burr-r-ing sound followed by a distinct pause and then a renewal of the burr-r-ing sound. It continues until the telephone you called answers, or you hang up your receiver, or the operator tells you "they do not answer." The Ringing Signal should not be con fused with the familiar "busy" signal which is a much shorter and louder "buzz-buzz-buzz." The latter is a very distinct indication that "the line is busy." The Ringing Signal is already in opera tion in several of our central offices and within a few weeks it will be working in all Philadelphia offices. It will then be heard on all calls within the city. THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA 3ai uriMGtf (mqI V k m&M&mM MW?J3Stm." . Bjt&iAJ t .i-". - wi2i$ . v. A fits &LtiaL-$tebM. . &TKM . 3 iJ
