Emergencies RVE, N.YXUPD On Saturday nights and other busy i switchboards can resemble theater marquees and many times public calls for police and ambulance become jumbled or misplaced. Emergency call centers in many large cities use back-up logging systems. Now Dictaphone Corporation has introduced a new mini-logger designed for emergency call centers in small, busy communities. The Duchess County emergency center, which handles all fire and ambulance calls for the 250,000 person area, installed one of the first mini-loggers.

According to Duchess County Chief Doug Verdick, "The logger system acts as a safety net for us. It's not unusual for our department to a several emergency calls daily. At such limes, the logger has proved a lifesaver," he added. Battled water NEW YORK (UP!)
