HE skilful and well-trained telephone testman plays a vital role in the rendering of good telephone service. Working at special switchboards which enable him to test any telephone line, he carries out a planned course of preventive maintenance. In wet weather, for example, he systematically checks lines to find points where moisture may be causing a leakage of current. Sensitive instruments tell him where such a weakness may have occurred. A repairman can then be sent out to clear the fault before it impairs your service.

But the job of the testman end with the rain. Whether cloudy or clear, summer or winter, busy detecting on the lines before it ever happens. A continuous program of preventive maintenance is one more important part of the job of providing you, day after day, with fast, accurate, dependable telephone service.
