Automatic ticketing of telephone calls

Frederick L. Kahn (Automatic Electric Company, Chicago, Ill.): It is good news to hear of the first installation of automatic-toll-ticketing equipment in this country. The methods and problems have been presented and analyzed very clearly by the author. The high saturation of telephones in and near all metropolitan areas and the close community of interest within such areas make direct subscriber-to-subscriber dialing very desirable; the automatic-ticketing equipment provides a most important and final link. It is to be hoped that conditions after the war will permit the rapid introduction of this new feature in many areas.
