Telephone System.

Patent for improvements to an automatic switchboard "to provide a construction of board and a connected system of wiring which will permit a subscriber at a telephone in one town to call up the operator or central at a distant point and converse with him without operating the other instruments in his town and at the same time preventing other subscribers from breaking into the line" (lines 12-20).
