Abstract
AN interesting description of the general working of the modern city telephone system is given in the pages of this book. No attempt is made to describe the power plant of the modern telephone exchange, or the details of other parts of the machinery by which an efficient telephone service is maintained, but the general principles of this means of communication are clearly explained, and suggested developments of telephone policy in Great Britain are discussed. Every subscriber who reads the book will be given an intelligent and tolerant view of the telephone service.
