DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1961 SECTION B—PAGE 1 ~~ New Era In Telephone Service Opens In Trucksville pe a ——— { | Top Center: Commonwealth’s attractive new Dallas South ex- change, 33’ x 42’, is located on Lewis Avenue, just off of Harris Hill Road. The attractive building, blends well into the contour. of the land. A basement portion contains the cable vault into which the cables run, and a thermostatically controlled heating unit which maintains a constant temperature and humidity to protect the deli- cate dial switching equipment. Lower Left: During the hot days of August and September more than 1200 feet of conduit were laid underground to accommo- date some 2688 feet of cable. With no interruption of traffic, a trench for the conduit is here dug across Route 309 at the Trucksville Y. Top Right: Outside plant construction for Dallas South ex- change cost approximately $153,000 and, in addition to 2688 feet of underground cable, included 77,400 feet of aerial cable such as this on Carverton Road near Westmoreland Hills. Lower Right: A splice is made on new cable along Carverton Road—a part of some 77,400 feet of aerial cable strung for the new Dallas South exchange. Top Left: Lines are tested as finishing touches are made on the latest Automatic Electric dial switching equipment. The equipment is the most modern step-by-step, terminal per station type. Ample room within the building provides for additional equipment as growth demands. Some 950 Commonwealth customers, presently served by Dallas’ main “exchange, will on Sunday morning at 2:01 AM. be quietly cutover to dial service at the Dallas South exchange. At that mo- ment, however, Dallas South customers will begin to use their new seven digit mumbers—these will begin with 696 followed by four other numbers. This All Numeral Calling feature allows the exchange to be an-integral part of the nationwide. inter-toll dialing network.
